Our ideas of evangelism cannot indict Jesus; rather, He must judge contemporary methods of evangelism. Modern evangelicalism is preoccupied with decisions, statistics, aisle-walking, gimmicks, prefabricated presentations, pitches, emotional manipulation, and even intimidation. Its message is a cacophony of easy-believism and simplistic appeals. Unbelievers are told that if they invite Jesus into their hearts, accept Him as personal Savior, or believe the facts of the gospel, that’s all there is to it. The aftermath is appalling failure, as seen in the lives of multitudes who have professed faith in Christ with no consequent impact of their behavior. Who knows how many people are deluded into believing they are saved when they are not?

INSTRUCTIONS

Pour about 1 inch of water into a large frying pan and bring it to a boil
over high heat. Meanwhile, cut off the tough bottom ends from the aspargus.
Generously salt the water. Add the aspargus, return the water to a boil and
cook until the aspargus is just tender, about 3 minutes. Drain the aspargus
and rinse under cold running water. Drain well and pat dry. In a small
bowl, combine the mayonaise, soy sauce, sesame oil and grated orange zest.
Blend well. Spoon the dipping sauce into a small bowl. Place the bowl in
the middle of a round platter and fan the asparagus spears on the platter
around it.
