Quote from William Booth...

Today I just have a quote from William Booth and a question from our Wednesday Night study on evangelism (we're working through Mark Cahill's book "One thing you can't do in heaven").

William Booth said (speaking about the call to evangelise)... "Not called!" did you say? 'Not heard the call,' I think you should say. Put your ear down to the Bible, and hear him bid you go and pull sinners out of the fire of sin. Put your ear down to the burdened, agonized heart of humanity, and listen to its pitiful wail for help. Go stand by the gates of hell, and hear the damned entreat you to go to their father’s house and bid their brothers and sisters, and servants and masters not to come there. And then look Christ in the face, whose mercy you have professed to obey, and tell him whether you will join heart and soul and body and circumstances in the march to publish his mercy to the world.

Mark Cahill's Action Item... This week, either "look Christ in the face" and tell Him you will refuse to obey His call, or commit in your heart to follow Him and bring His good news to the lost. If you choose the latter, know that He will help you every step of the way.

Jesus said, "follow me and I will make you fishers of men".... so if you aren't fishing, you aren't following.

Live holy, preach Jesus!
