		<description><![CDATA[There is resistance to the gospel that naturally arises anytime a Christian calls a non-Christian to faith and repentance in Christ.  There is also a resistance when a non-Christian feels like a Christian is giving them a sales pitch, rather than being a true friend to them.
These two kinds of resistance are not the same.  [...]]]></description>
