Compel Them to Come In

Do you have friends who are not saved?  I would hope you do, and not just for the sake of friendship, but also for the sake of evangelization.  How can you say you are their true friend if you do not warn them of the coming judgment and tell them of the Good News? 

I just finished reading a sermon by Charles Spurgeon entitled, “Compel Them to Come In”.  It is full of many little nuggets, but read this one on the earnestness he felt for the lost: “I say again, when words fail us we can give tears—for words and tears are the arms with which gospel ministers compel men to come in.”  Do you love your unsaved friends, family members, enemies, et al to the point where you weep for them in their spiritual state?  Talk about conviction!  I encourage you to take the time to read the rest of the sermon.  The English is sometimes a little foreign for our day, but persevere and get through it – you won’t regret it.
