Discovering @#!*% 's Best Secret

I received The Way of the Master by Kirk Cameron and Ray Comfort. This is the best witnessing lessons that I have heard from thus far. I wanted to tell you the second lesson out of the Basic Training series. It is called Discovering @#!*% 's Best Secret. Did you know that 80 to 90% of people who make a decision for the Lord in Modern Day Evangelism will become Backsliders? It just doesn't work. There is only one type of Evangelism that will totally work, and that is called Biblical Bible Evangelism! It's the way Jesus evangelized, and it is the number one way to get people saved. For example, if there was a huge and exciting crusade and 300,000 people got saved, then only 15,000 people would continually walk with Jesus! That is sad because people are really only getting saved with knowing that Jesus is a Gushy God, who will always bless you and give you tons of money if you tithe. This is not right! Now in the Biblical Way of Evangelism, in the same crusade, if 300,000 people got saved then the backsliding rate would be moderate to extremely low. I would say between 150,000 to 275,000 would continually follow God if we did it the Biblical Way!

So what is the Biblical Way? Well, lets go to Mark 10:17 where a very rich person came up to Jesus.

Mark 10:17-22

Amplified Bible (AMP)

¹⁷ And as He was setting out on His journey, a man ran up and knelt before Him and asked Him, Teacher, [You are ^[a]essentially and perfectly ^[b]morally] good, what must I do to inherit eternal life [that is, ^[c]to partake of eternal salvation in the Messiah’s kingdom]?

¹⁸ And Jesus said to him, Why do you call Me [^[d]essentially and perfectly ^[e]morally] good? There is no one [^[f]essentially and perfectly ^[g]morally] good—except God alone.

¹⁹ You know the commandments: Do not kill, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not bear false witness, do not defraud, honor your father and mother.

²⁰ And he replied to Him, Teacher, I have carefully guarded and observed all these andtaken care not to violate them from my boyhood.

²¹ And Jesus, looking upon him, loved him, and He said to him, You lack one thing; go and sell all you have and give [the money] to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come [and] accompany Me [^[h]walking the same road that I walk].

²² At that saying the man’s countenance fell and was gloomy, and he went away grievedand sorrowing, for he was holding great possessions.

So, Jesus corrected the man then gave him the first five commandments. He then told him to go sell all he had, give it to the poor, and follow Him. He used a principle! The principle is telling people the disease before the cure. Its like a doctor telling you that you need Aspirin and he never tells you the disease. Now, we would think that the doctor is nuts and shouldn't be a doctor in the first place! The doctor first needs to say that your pain will go away when you take the Aspirin! Now, you would be grabbing the Aspirin with all gladness. It says in Romans 3:19-20, Romans 7:7, and Galatians 3:24 that the Law shows we are dirty and need a Saviour! We need to know that we are Sinners before we need to know how to go to Heaven!
