SOULS
“This generation of Christians is responsible for this generation of souls on the earth.” Keith Green
There are lost souls on this earth and there are saved souls on this earth.
You are either a lost soul or you are a saved soul.
I know that I am a saved soul, saved by grace. Ephesians 2:5 and Ephesians 2:8 “For it is by grace you have been saved, …”
SAVED SOULS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR LOST SOULS!
PERSONAL EVANGELISM was one subject taught at the Bible school in Germany I went to. But it was not the teacher who taught the subject – Personal Evangelism – who was well known for P.E.
The teacher who was well known for life – style evangelism was Ernie Klassen. And I thank the Lord for him. Two slender volumes written by him are in my possession, YOU NEVER MEET ANYONE BY CHANCE and SMILE, LAUGH AND LIVE THE ABUNDANT LIFE (reflections on life-style evangelism).
You should read the booklets. They encourage you to be a personal evangelist. Read also “Jesus Talks with a Samaritan Woman” in John chapter four.
In a GREENPEACE publication (Winter 2012) I find on the back page the following quote by Mother Teresa:
“DO NOT WAIT FOR LEADERS,
DO IT ALONE, PERSON TO PERSON.”

“However, I consider my life worth nothing to me, if only I may finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me – the task of testifying to the gospel of God’s grace.” Acts 20:24
