“While women weep, as they do now, I’ll fight; while children go hungry as they do now, I’ll fight; while men go to prison, in and out, in and out, as they do now, I’ll fight; while there is a drunkard left, while there is a poor lost girl upon the streets, while there remains one dark soul without the light of God, I’ll fight to the very end!"
General William Booth was hands on when meeting people's needs. I also believe we should always remember that Jesus came into the world to save sinners.
Paris Reidhead (1919-1992) The Christian Missionary Alliance said something profound, “If I had my way, I would declare a moratorium on public preaching of “the plan of salvation” in America for one to two years. Then I would call on everyone who has use of the airwaves and the pulpits to preach the holiness of God, the righteousness of God, and the Law of God, until sinners would cry out, “What must we do to be saved?” Then I would take them off in a corner and whisper the gospel to them. Don’t use John 3:16. Such drastic action is needed because we have gospel-hardened a generation of sinners by telling them how to be saved before they have any understanding why they need to be saved.”

The Love Test (The Evidence Bible)
1. If I saw a blind man walking toward a 1,000 foot cliff, I would immediately:
a. Offer him my favorite Christian CD
b. Invite him to my house for a non-confrontational BBQ the following weekend
c. Warn him about the cliff
2. When Paul pleaded with the people on Mars Hill (Acts 17), he demonstrated his concern for them by:
a. Inviting them to a worship service in the upper room
b. Smiling and hoping they noticed the peace in his eyes
c. Saying something to make them feel good about themselves
d. Telling them about the coming Day of Judgment and what they must do to be saved.
3. If we know someone who is not born again, we should do all we can to:
a. Spend months building their trust and hope they ask us what makes us different (assuming they don’t die first...which we can’t assume)
b. Invite them to church and hope they want to come back
c. Wear a cross around our neck so they’ll know we’re sold out for Jesus
d. Learn to go to them in love and compassion, speaking the truth, leading them to the Savior
