You said -- "Every church has a "gimmick" to bring unbelievers ..."
What's God's gimmick? The last I heard the cross was an "offense" to those who don't believe. Is that the gimmick that we should be using? Just wondering, since God uses it...

[... What is God's gimmick??? ...]
Outstanding question.
God's gimmick is His unconditional love toward me.
This is almost more than I can fathom. That God
loved me and reached out to me through the cross
and the blood of His beloved Son, Jesus Christ...
all while I was yet a sinner.
(Happy to hear that you got back safely)
Guess that you made it to Tulsa ok last night!
Sure, Jesus Christ and Him Crucified is a great emphasis.
Paul emphasized that plenty.
BUT NOT ONLY.
And choosing from Scripture what to emphasize does not automatically make someone a heretic on a par with those who rape babies. Reading RW bashing threads, one could easily conclude otherwise.
