Most evangelicals today don’t run to relics; they don’t try to find pieces of the cross or straw from the manger. We know that the power isn’t there. But we try to find power in our programs. We try to find power in our methods. When will we ever learn that the power is in the gospel? God awakens people to Himself as the Holy Spirit generates faith in the hearts of people through the Word. The Spirit of God works in and through the Word. The power is in the gospel. And so, if you believe in the sovereign power of God and care about evangelism, you will use the power where God has put it.
