‘Our churches are graveyards of people who… “opened the door” but have never repented; they have never come to terms with Christ’s Lordship.’

John Chapman wrote those words 20 years ago in his excellent book Know and Tell the Gospel and, despite thousands of copies being sold and scores of us saying how good Chappo’s book is and adding it to our recommended reading list, it seems that few evangelists have taken much note of his words.

As a result we continue to dig graves and fill them up with people who have ‘prayed a prayer’, but who know nothing of the Lordship of Christ.
