John Cheeseman, On What Evangelism Is Not

“Evangelism is not persuading people to make a decision; it is not proving that God exists, or making out a good case for the truth of Christianity; it is not inviting someone to a meeting; it is not exposing the contemporary dilemma, or arousing interest in Christianity; it is not wearing a badge saying ‘Jesus saves’! Some of these things may be right and good in their place, but none of them should be confused with evangelism. To evangelize is to declare on the authority of God what He had done to save sinners, to warn men of their lost condition, to direct them to repent, and to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ.” (Saving Grace, pg. 113)
