'Whoever' says, "Two ways. One is a demand answer; one is a supply answer." Both perspectives are human, not divine. Both perspectives appear to be from the 'business paradigm'. Somebody needs to write a book; "The Attendance Machine". Might be a good dissertation? Aloha,

Five easy steps? No. The five steps are teach, teach, teach, teach, and teach, and none of them is easy. :) Jerry,

I prayed the "sinners prayer" when I was five, walked the aisle and was baptized. All that did was send me into a "christian" life (of 28 years) where I was the hero, not Christ, for what I had done to be saved. I didn't at all understand my depravity and my desperate need for Christ. I am so grateful that the Holy Spirit convicted me of my extreme sin and need for a Savior when I was 32. Some people don't understand why I won't allow my kids in a VBS or church service where the "sinner's prayer" is introduced but this article says it all. Salvation belongs to the Lord.

Very insightful to call this kind of trickery 'spiritual abuse'. Also, I appreciate how you present both a love for VBS and also a warning against dangerous tactics. So many young pastors I know have long since thrown the baby out with the bathwater, sadly missing a great opportunity to share the Gospel with children. Adam Thanks for this post, Wes.
