Charles Haddon Spurgeon June 19, 1834 - January 31, 1892 by Mel Gerrard Charles Spurgeon was one of the most powerful and influential preachers our world has ever seen. He never attended any kind of Bible or theology school. He was known as England’s most beloved preacher. When he preached, huge crowds were attracted to come and hear what he had to say. His influence in bringing people to Jesus Christ could not be measB ured. By today’s standB ards, he lived a short life—only about 58 years! To show you the heart of this great man of God, I have included some on the quotes that are credited to him. “The saving of souls, once a man has gained love to perishing sinners and his blessed master, will be an all absorbing passion to him. It will so carry him away, that he will almost forget himself in the saving to others. He will be like the brave fireman, who cares not for the scorch of the heat so that he may rescue the poor creature.” “If sinners be damned, at least let them leap to hell over our bodies. If they perish, let them perish with our arms around their knees. Let no one go there unwarned and unprayed for.” “I would sooner bring one sinner to Jesus Christ than unravel all the mysteries of the divine word, for salvation is the one thing we are to live for.” “When preaching and private talk are not available, you need to have a tract ready—good striking tracts... Do not go out without your tracts.” “You cannot stop their dying, but oh that God might help you stop their being damned! You cannot stop the breath from going out of their bodies, but oh, if the gospel could but stop their souls from going down to destruction!” “Lost! Lost! Lost! Bet? ter a whole world on fire than a soul lost! Better every star quenched and the skies a wreck than a single soul to be lost!” “Do you want arguI ments for soul winning? Look up to heaven, and ask yourself how sinners can ever reach those harps of gold and learn that everlasting song, He that winneth souls is wise.

Letters to the editor:%From Holguin, Cuba (Translated from Spanish) Beloved Brothers,

The Lord bless you abundantly. I wish that you and your families may have peace, joy, and love. My name is Rubiel Parez Claro. I am 25 years old and single. I at-tended the Pentecostal Evangelical Church from the day the Lord rescued me from darkness to light. I am now a new creature in Christ. I am experiencing more joy than I have ever had before.

Please send me a New Testament, a Bible, and what-ever other literature you have to help me in my Christian walk.

From Cathedral City, California Me and my neighbor go to the park with kids every morning and pass out

tracts—some in English and some in Spanish. People like to sign their name and put the date on page 12 after they have received Jesus into their hearts.

I haven't had much money to donate, but praise God I got money now so I am able to donate. May the Lord God bless you! We could use more tracts. Norma Madain and Maria Rueda,

!Can Muslims get saved

as easily as non Muslims? Read this and you decide!

by Randee Hawkins I'm a volunteer who worked in

the dining area of College of the Desert day before yesterday. We were there for the express purpose of telling people how to be saved so they would go to heaven when this short life is over.

A Muslim international student from Yemen began speaking with me. I began to share Jesus with him. Would you believe, before I knew it, he was asking for forgiveness of sin and he asked Jesus into his heart!

(He also told Randee that he is NOT voting for Obama in the upcoming election!)
