Ray Comfort and Kirk Cameron have developed a system of sharing their faith that mirrors how Jesus shared. The basic idea is that, as Christians, we tend to over-emphasize God's grace and under-emphasize God's law when speaking to the lost. Romans tells us that the purpose of the law is to convict people of their sin, so when we don't mention the law, we end up with people who become Christians because they want the "wonderful life" we told them all about when they should seek grace out of fear of eternal damnation...
The Way of the Master
really got me thinking if nothing else. For the first 8 or so chapters I really disagreed but somewhere around chapter 9 he started to win me over... at least in idea. I'd like to share my faith because I truly believe it's the truth and that God's grace is the only thing that can save. Yet, I still have never tried Comfort's ideas out. I'm not sure why. What is it that keeps me from sharing my faith with others? I guess I figure nothing I can say will make a difference? Ray Comfort would disagree.I'll give the book 2 stars. It's a good book but there are a lot of other books I'd read before this one.
