"DI DUNIA periklanan, setiap copywriter tahu kekuatan dua kata ajaib: "Gratis!" dan "Baru!" Kami melihatnya di supermarket, di koran, di papan iklan. Dan konsumen merespons. Di gereja hari ini, kita menjadi mangsa seruan "Baru!" Kebenaran lama Injil tampaknya tidak cukup spektakuler. Kami gelisah untuk pengajaran atau teknik terbaru, terhebat, terbaru. Kami para pendeta khususnya tampaknya mencari jalan pintas atau strategi baru yang dinamis yang akan menyalakan gereja kami."

Versi Bahasa Inggris

IN THE WORLD OF advertising, every copywriter knows the power of two magic words: "Free!" and "New!" We see them in the supermarket, in the newspaper, on billboards. And consumers respond. In the church today, we are falling prey to the appeal of "New!" The old truths of the gospel don't seem spectacular enough. We're restless for the latest, greatest, newest teaching or technique. We pastors in particular seem to search for a shortcut or some dynamic new strategy that will fire up our churches.
