Brilliant!

Declare the gospel – yes, emphatically, yes! But I think it’s the work of the Holy Spirit to do the lifting 🙂

I know that may sound like splitting hairs, but it’s the difference between encouraging people to share the gospel, and placing a burden of performance on them to see people saved. I have no control over who gets out of the pit. In fact, if we really want to take the analogy to its full, the person in the pit has no choice about getting out of the pit even if I were able to reach my arm down! (said with my best Calvinist hat on, and thinking about Ezekiel and the dry bones in the valley 😉 )

I’m NOT NOT NOT saying not to share the gospel, but I am saying that she is presenting a very “self” focused idea of salvation – pretty much leaving God out of the equation.
