SOULS

IMG_0228-150x150“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.P1190613-225x300

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.”

Intr.:

in a vison:

1.  ‘Do not be afraid;

2.  keep on speaking,

3.  do not be silent.

4.  For I am with you, and

5.  no one is going to attack or

“COMMUNICATION”

“COMMUNICATION”

Seven times I find the word “communication(s), communicate(s), communicating” in the letter to the PROBUS friends written by the present chairman (2012-13). (Magazine active, Issue 54, Spring 2012, Your Official New Zealand Probus Magazine)

It is pointed out how important communication is and many ways are suggested  how “to communicate about PROBUS to the wider community.”

I hope that you have heard about the PROBUS Clubs.

What an encouragement that was for me to communicate the GOSPEL. What an encouragement that was for me  preach, to make known the GOSPEL.

In Mark 16:15 the Lord Jesus Christ says, “‘GO INTO ALL THE WORLD AND PREACH THE GOOD NEWS TO ALL CREATION.” In First Corinthians 9:16 the apostle Paul says, “Woe to me if I do not preach the GOSPEL!” That’s why he was able to say to Timothy, “Preach the Word, be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage –  with great patience and careful instruction.”

Yesterday I talked to two Germans and today with two more Germans here in Kaitaia. I am from Germany. We are not only talking about general things, but my main purpose is to communicate the GOSPEL, to tell them what the Lord has done for me and that everyone who believes will be saved. I am also thankful to the Lord when they accept my business cards at the end of the conversation. From now on I will always have some of the cards in my pocket. The business cards are homemade.P1220990

And what a joy it is when  I find out that I am talking to believers in the Lord Jesus Christ!

That actually happened today!
