SANCTUARY by David Jeremiah
February 28

GIVE ME SOULS!

Romans 10:1
My heart's desire and prayer to God ... is that they may be saved.

A recent survey by Christian pollster George Barna found that only about half (53 percent) of born again Christians feel a sense of repsonsibility to tell others about their faith. Compare that with these quotes from earlier generations of believers:

"I cared not where or how I lived, or what hardships I went through, so that I could but gain souls for Christ." - David Brainerd

"God, the sin of this city is breaking my heart." - Samuel Hadley, about New York City

"Lord, give me souls or take my soul." - George Whitefield

"Here let me burn out for God." - Henry Martyn, on the shores of India

"I am very tired, but must go on . . . A fire is in my bons . . . Oh God, what can I say? Souls! Souls! Souls! My heart hungers for souls!" - General William Booth

"I would rather win souls than be the gretaest king or emperor on earth. My one ambition in life is to win as may as possible." - R. A. Torrey
