Preachers
What have we done really?
We have preached, we have witnessed, and we have passed out tracts. “Repent!” Is the cry of the Preacher? "Turn or Burn" is the words of the Evangelist. But what have we done really? Jesus said "Repent or Perish", the Bible says "There is a place of everlasting punishment" you warn. "Hell Fire is What Awaits You" the Preacher cries. But what have we really done? We preached hard against Sin, we exposed unrighteousness and every evil perpetrated against a loving God. But what, what, what have we really done? Have We Wept? Have we been terrified for the souls of those we preach to? Have the faces been so burned into our memory that we can see them every time we close our eyes? Has our joy been turned to mourning, when we consider they're fate? I'm not talking about feeling sorry for them or throwing up a 1 minute prayer or two. But have we writhed in agony over their soul? Are your dreams turned into nightmares when their torment is before your eyes? I say here and now my fellow Preachers. If your whole being does not ache for they're souls then perhaps you should go home. Put away your banners and sandwich boards. Turn off your megaphones and PA systems. Send the tracts back to the store. GO! Go to your knees and plead the Lord forgive you. Then when you have yielded every selfish, proud desire to Him and your heart comes to know His Calvary Love. When you feel His nail scarred hands and feet. When the sword and crown have pierced and wounded your heart. Then, then GO!.........GO!.......PREACH!........From your wounded Heart. Then shall the Lord of glory be pleased, then shall He pour forth His power upon your preaching and then shall men be made new.
