Gospel Presentation?

Everything I do is Biblically based on God's Holy Word. My messages are laced with the Gospel and if possible I teach them how to personalize a text. I do not do altar calls, unless asked, but I do weave into my message the JOY of eternal life. If lead by the Spirit I will ask: "If you died today would you go to heaven."
