Never Make a Gospel Appeal to People's Emotions

Dr. Macarthur makes a great point. I have been in NUMEROUS churches that do this. The Pastor will dim the lights, play some emotional song and sometimes they will plant people in the audience to come up to the altar to get things moving.


The funny thing is so many of the people that do this are the same ones that kick and scream against apologetics and accuse those who use it as not trusting in the Holy Spirit yet they resort to manipulation and emotional appeals to try and "talk" them into becoming a Christian.
