The Ineffective Evangelical


Evangelical: “Hey, man, have you been saved?”

Buddy: “Huh? Uh, oh yeah, one summer, up at camp… we were out in a boat, and it was a really nice night… I stood up in the boat, and I can’t swim–”

E: “No, no, no, no, no… I mean, have you been born again?”

B: “Uh, I don’t think so…”

E: “No, you know, have you been washed in the blood?”

B: “I hope not…”

E: (Raising voice, frustrated) “I’m trying to tell you the Good News!

B: “Alright. What’s that?”

E: (Shouting) “You’re going to hell!!”

(Pause)

B: “What’s the bad news?”
