In chapter 2 White deals with the subject of society’s awareness to
the Christian message. Things are so much different today than they
were in Mayberry with Andy and Barney. I can remember a few years ago
talking to a friend of mine about Christ and I referred to John 3:16
in passing. He looked at me with a blank stare; he had no idea what I
was talking about. We must understand that on the scale from 1-10 for
Christ awareness, many people now are not on the upper end but on the
lower end.
The church wants to use the same methods that their grandparents did
and this simply will not work. In White’s studies, cultivating
relationships is the largest factor for growth. We must look at
evangelism as more than an event but as a process.
