A Little Girl Asked Her Father Why Firemen ...
Contributed by Sermon Central on Jun 18, 2007 (message contributor)
A little girl asked her father why firemen stayed in the firehouse all day and polished their engines and other equipment. He explained that they did this to pass the time while waiting for fire calls. Many Christians likewise stay close to the familiar surroundings of the church community, applying another coat of worship or getting a theological tune-up, while all the time waiting for some sinner to request a gospel presentation. The problem with this approach to evangelism is that the world is already ablaze, and the fire call went out two thousand years ago “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.”
