"We have to dare to preach the Gospel"
To my mind the worst way to "preach the Gospel" is to SHOUT it.  When we make ostentatious displays; fling literalisms, one-liners-out-of-context; don pointy hats; set up Jesus as if He were a morter shell or pink blossom; guilt inducer we are missing the point. Jesus referred to Himself from time to time, but His mission was to bring us to the "Father Creator".  He led by example. Evangelical Gospel shouting is egocentric narcissism.  Are we not beginning to see more and more clearly how that kind of campaigning is "offputting" , deliterious and repugnant in the end?
