What is your opinion on the Way Of The Master(Ray Comfort/Kairk Cameron) , model for sharing the Law and the Bad News, before Sharing the Good News?
While I’m not familiar with the “Way of the Master” (at least not by that name), I can answer your question regarding whether the Law and the Bad News ought to be shared before the Good News. The answer is: sometimes.
I have met more than a few people who have been sufficiently convicted by their own consciences to be well aware of their need without my emphasizing it to them. In such cases, I have no difficulty beginning a dialogue with the Good News.
On the other hand, people don’t usually look for solutions until they are aware of their need. The teaching of the religious majority where I live is that men are born basically good and are fully capable of living in complete obedience to the Law. The result is that a discussion of the Law’s purpose, what it would mean to truly keep the Law, and why none of us can is a prerequisite for sharing the Biblical Gospel.
Because evangelism usually works best within a relational context, I encourage people to make that personal connection before they begin sharing (this can be done in just a matter of minutes), then allow the Holy Spirit to lead them where they need to go in order to best reach the individual. Sometimes, this is through sharing the Bad News first, sometimes it isn’t. We must be open to follow either way.
