What has Les said about evangelicals putting cliches in place of the Gospel?
Evangelical Christians, pastors, and evangelists too often put cliches in place of the Gospel, such as telling people to 'take Jesus into your heart.' He stated that this cliche is not the Gospel, emphasizing that such common phrases can substitute for the Gospel.
Les teaches that too often evangelical Christians, pastors, and evangelists have put cliches in place of the Gospel. He points to 'take Jesus into your heart' as probably the most preeminent and most-used example, asking how many times we have heard an evangelist or preacher say, 'Just come and take Jesus into your heart.' His conclusion is that this is not the Gospel. He notes he had stated this on the program several months before.
