Met a couple today who I had the great privilege of introducing to the Lord Jesus more than 20 years ago. They are active in one of our local churches and still thrilled to be 'saved.'
Their salvation just shows how wonderful the Lord is. I was doing a baptismal service in a friends church for a small group of folk who met in a home. After the baptism I just shared a few simple things from the word and began to pray, and as I started I felt the Lord say, "make an altar call." A man and a women who I had never met before put up their hand very gingerly and looked really frightened. Not wanting to embarrass them I said I will be in the vestry if anyone wanted to talk. A few minutes later in they came, both aged about 50 and clearly convicted by the Holy Spirit and to cut a long story short they were gloriously 'saved'
It was the famed Methodist preacher, Sangster who used to ask his flock two questions; One was, "when did you last lead someone to the Lord," the second was "when did you last try"?
You're right we must "walk the walk," but we must also remember to,"talk the talk."
