As Charles Spurgeon, more eloquent than I, preached for several years, he greatly affirmed the truths of Calvinism as being the focus and root of his desire to evangelize. He said "If there are so many fish to be taken in the net, I will go and catch some of them. Because many are ordained to be caught, I spread my nets with eager expectation."
Calvin's most renowned (or most despised, depending on the presenter) doctrine revolves around the sovereignty of God & "free" will of mankind. But this, as Spurgeon said, should not serve as a hindrance to evangelism, but as a supreme motivation! If God has a people He promises to save, let the church rejoice and carry on the mission of Christ to seek and save the lost!
