Jackie Pullinger is a biblical character in our day she is on another level.
She said that people cannot get saved through the intellect. In a way I do not agree with this. I believe that truth can be a means to lead people to Christ as giving a person a piece of bread in love. God often supernaturally places natural evidences to affect us to salvation. On the other hand apart from God none of this can be achieved. I also understand what she is saying on the other hand.
I will say though as I have been a preaching evangelist she takes on a different method from the other side of the spectrum and I have much to learn from her.
I liked how she spoke of the drug addicts whos minds are gone so you have to first minister to their hearts and then when their minds come back you can then minister there.
Sinners are much like drug addicts who have their minds blinded.
Another thing that stuck out was this. She said they trusted the Gospel because they trusted us. Since they trusted us they trusted what we said. So often we can seek to get people to believe things on intellectual debating reasonings or apologetic evidences. However, as Jesus said they will know you are mine when you love one another. So He did not mainly say when you dig up the coin of Herod or something. So our greatest evidence is that of us. This was said when speaking of taking in addicts and asking them if they believed in Christ and they said yes because since those they trusted believed then they also would.
