This is an interesting conclusion:
"We have counted on preaching. teaching and knowledge or information to form faith in the hearer and have counted on faith to form the inner life and outer behvior of the Christian. But, for whatever reason, this strategy has not turned out well. The result is that we have multitudes of professing Christians who well may be ready to die but obviously are not ready to live, and can hardly get along with themselves, much less others."
It raises the question about the effectiveness of the church's efforts in bringing people to be actual disciples of Jesus instead of just followers of Jesus. Is there a difference?
