last week and this week our Pastor made the statement: "we will do anything short of sin to reach others with the Gospel of Jesus Christ."

Thoughts?

Apparently it's "a thing." The phrase in Google brings up a ton of churches.

I think it's a church growth/vision/leadership-motivational slogan. I used to be in that world and believed in it. But not anymore.

"Reach people for jesus" is a theological statement. What you believe about that determines how you know if you are accomplishing it. And the means you will use to accomplish it. Jesus and the early church's means weren't haphazard. Their vision was more than "reach people for Christ." It was a complete upending of your life. And the means created the fruit. .

Perhaps that pushy "evangelism" would qualify as sin.
