Many years ago the man of God would speak the Word of God to the people of God and allow the Spirit of God to work the Grace of God in the lives of God's people.

Today, people want to seal the deal within an hour on Sunday morning so they will not be bothered for the rest of the week.

Pastors of old preached then spent the rest of the week making house calls encouraging the convicted to get right with God.

The invention of the Altar Call may not have been such a good thing.
