An “evangelical ministry” gives gospel truths “an inaccurate application” and plays down “the war with sin and Satan”, writes J I Packer in his book Knowing God.

The preacher wants to win his hearers to Christ; therefore he glamorises the Christian life, making it sound as gay and carefree as he can, in order to allure them.

J I wouldn’t like Fred Flintstone either. Fred always had a “gay old time”.
