Sound    Witness believes that evangelism must begin with clear communication of the    objective substance of Christian faith and practice. Sound Witness seeks to    speak to the minds of people, communicating objective biblical truths so    that they might have the assurance of God's forgiveness and favor, and thus    be better equipped to discern, not only the errors of sects/cults, but also    the shifting winds of contemporary popular "Evangelicalism". Few    consider the broader implications of many aberrant teachings popular in    "Evangelicalism" today; those who do are not popular. Many    Christians, when hearing such voices, hide behind a curtain of polite    ignorance. Sound Witness aims to open this curtain and call Christians to    walk in the Light.
