The modern approach to evangelism is to tell people how much God loves them, and that He can fix their broken lives and heal their emotional wounds. While this is true, too many Christians stop here. They make no mention of Jesus’ lordship over our lives, the coming judgment, or the forgiveness of sins.
No one continues to visit their counselor after their emotional problems have been resolved. When we only present Jesus as the solution for our emotional needs – a divine counselor – we should not be surprised when people try Jesus, and then move on to other things once they “feel” better.

It seems to be a symptom of living temporally. In my experience, so much teaching has been to emphasize orthropraxy (to the neglect of orthodoxy) that it seems the average church goer is only instructed and encouraged to figure out how to live in the here and now, and be comfortable, and not set their affections on things above, i.e. live with their personal eternality as a priority.
