according to God’s program and in God’s power. Paul kept on until the end of the jour ney. God never puts a faithful servant on the retired list. Exactly as long as He allows us to remain here in this world, He has something for us to do here. The preacher may not always be able to preach until the end of the journey, but he can continue his ministry of intercession. Paul’s public ministry seemed greatly limited when he was a prisoner- in Rome, chained to a guard. Yet he was so faithful in wit nessing for Christ that souls were saved and there were “ saints . . . of Caesar’s household.” While Paul was in prison he wrote letters to the churches in Ephesus, Philippi, and Colosse. He was an intercessor. He prayed for his fellow workers, for the churches that he established, and for the converts that he led to the Lord. Paul remembered the children. “ Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear chil dren” (Eph. 5:1). Our Lord is interested in the boys and girls. The Lord Jesus Christ died to save the children. There are twenty-seven million boys and girls in this country that need to be evangelized. The childhood of America is our great field, and it is a field white unto harvest. The children are reachable. A child can have a definite experience of Christ’s re generating power. A born-again child can win others for Christ. A Christian worker must recognize his responsibility to the children. He must make use of every opportunity to lead children to Christ. The Lord is seeking to present the vision and to lay the burden of child evangelism upon the heart of every Christian worker in this nation. Necessarily, the ideal Christian worker will be a man with a passion for souls. Paul said: “ I am debtor . . . I am ready to preach the gospel” (Rom. 1:14, 15). He also said: “Woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel” (1 Cor. 9:16). He was con trolled by the love of Christ. He said: “ For the love of Christ constraineth us” (2 Cor. 5:14). Some one hgs given the following paraphrasing of that verse: “The love of Christ holds us together, lifts us up, and urges us on.” We need to stand to gether in these days. We need the lifting power of Christ’s love in our hearts. We need to be urged on. W e need a vision of the crucified, resurrected, and ascended Lord. We need a vision of a world lost and alienated from God. W e must have a passion for souls if we are going to be used of God in winning the lost. Paul had faith in God. He said: “ I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me” (Phil. 4:13). Paul also said: “My God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus” (Phil. 4:19). “Without faith it is impossible to please him” (Heb. 11:6). As Christian workers, we should desire above all else to be well pleasing unto Him who loved us and gave Himself for us. We must be men of faith. Will you not pray this prayer in your own heart? “Make me God’s man, doing God’s work, in God’s way, through God’s power, and to God’s glory.”
