Making the teaching attractive


As I am working on my next book on Titus: Restoring Health in the 21st Century’, Titus 3:9 keeps comes to me: “so that in every way they will make the teaching about God our Savior attractive.”

Yes, we must major on being missional and incarnational. Yes, word and deed. Yes, walk the walk and talk the talk. Yes, our culture is quite deaf to the gospel these days.

I like what Louis Pascal says in his book Pensees: “Make religion attractive, make good men wish it were true, and then show that it is. Worthy of reverence because it really understands human nature. Attractive because it promises true good.” This was brought to my attention by HTB’s Nicky Gumbel and Dr. Graham Tomlin the Alpha theologian.
