On Evangelism

It is a tragic reality that most in the Western church have become more fixated on what transpires within the four walls of the church than on reaching the lost in their communities. And because of this inwardness, dire consequences have resulted with the neglect of the divine commission. According to a 2019 report, 9,000 churches in Canada are estimated to "be lost in the next decade", that equals "roughly a third of all faith-owned buildings in the country." This is nothing more than the eventual and inevitable result of churches forgetting themselves. How so? A church without evangelism is not a church, just as a church without discipleship and worship is not a church, all three manifold aspects, firmly established upon God's word, comprise the church's mission. Without these, what you have then is nothing more than a social gathering. The church is more than that, however, it is a rescue station, not a measly tea party, and how many have been more so the latter? In this collection of sermons by the "Prince of Preachers", Charles H. Spurgeon, you will find inspiration, instruction, and words of great edification for our divine task, to go out into this lost and hostile world to sow the seed of the gospel, the only gospel that has the power to transform and redeem.
