EVANGELISTS SOUGHT!

EVANGELISTS SOUGHT! TODAY'S SCRIPTURE: “Do you not say, ‘There are still four months and then comes the harvest’? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest!” (John4:35). DAILY FIRE! Christ did not die just to give people a career, but to save the lost. There are thousands of evangelists in church jobs to which God never called them.  It is time for the body of Christ to boldly reaffirm the office of evangelist!  God’s concern today, as at Calvary, is the salvation of souls. And when Jesus Christ ascended into heaven, He established the work of evangelists within the church to help accomplish this great work. The past holds tragedies. When doors opened, some Christian workers were found jealously guarding their monopoly, as gold miners did their claims.  Sometimes rivalries ruined revivals. The harvest must not go unreaped while reapers merely defend their “own” flock. Christ did not die to give people a career, but to save the lost.  I do not preach “means and methods,” but spiritual principles. God will give you resourcefulness. There are as many methods as He directs.  We need more imaginative approaches, rather than people doing things by tried and proved methods. Plodding along mechanically might be called faithfulness, but our primary concern in evangelism is effectiveness, not a twisted type of faithfulness.
