Instead of one or the other, do both. Whereas the altar call method can be tacked on to just about anything, no matter how absent the gospel, the biblical method demands the hearing of the Word. But live preaching and live listening are also contagious. I have noticed for some time that churches make the preachers and preachers make the churches. But it is inconceivable that a person could be a Christian without holiness of life.
Family worship is the natural outcome of such a view.
The intimidation that we feel in relating Christ to a non-Christian world has to do with our comparing ourselves to the man or woman, rather than comparing God to the man or woman. Pastors down through history have faced the same difficulties. God has been willing to help them and guide them. God supports those who suffer for the gospel. If faith is anything it is an attentive and conscious recognition of God s place in all the details of life.
