Evangelize or Fossilize: The Urgent Mission of the Church
An Urgent Call to God’s ChurchTruly, there is nothing so tragic, so hard, and so icy as a fossilized church or Christian. Nothing can keep the Christian warm, fresh, and alive like evangelism. Soul-winning is a safeguard against a dead, barren orthodoxy. That the church’s expansion depends upon her evangelism is the testimony of the ages. Failing to save, she cannot survive. A lack of evangelism will ultimately lead to extinction.Renowned Bible teacher Dr. Herbert Lockyer examines the call, the methods, the obstacles, and the challenges of bringing the gospel to a lost and hurting world. When men and women inspired by the Holy Spirit offer their lives for the sake of the Lord Jesus and turn the world upside down, it is the greatest adventure of all time!About the AuthorDR. HERBERT LOCKYER (1886-1984) was a preacher and Bible teacher, and the author of more than fifty books. His best-known titles include All the Men of the Bible and All the Women of the Bible. Dr. Lockyer held pastorates in Scotland and England for twenty-five years. As pastor of Leeds Road Baptist Church in Bradford, England, he became a leader in the Keswick Higher Life Movement, which emphasized the significance of living in the fullness of the Holy Spirit. This led to an invitation to speak at the Moody Bible Institute’s fiftieth anniversary in 1936. His warm reception at that event led to his ministry in the United States. He received honorary degrees from both the Northwestern Evangelical Seminary and the International Academy in London.
