This blog compiles some notes and observations from one average guy's journey of life, faith and thought, along with some harvests from my reading (both on-line and in print). Learning to follow Jesus is a journey; come join me on the never-ending adventure!

Auctioning Eternity
From “What About Altar Calls?” – Pure Church by Thabiti Anyabwile:
I grew up in Southern Baptist churches were altar calls were routine - people were urged to "walk the aisle" to come to Jesus. This approach to evangelism is a relatively recent phenomena, dating to the work of Charles Finney in the early 19th century. Many Reformed churches do not use altar calls, for some reasons explained at the link above.
What do you think?
