A Soulwinner
“Walk in wisdom toward those who are outside, redeeming the time. Let
your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you
ought to answer each other.” Colossians 4:5-6
Everyone knows of Heinz, and of his “fifty-seven varieties.”
But few know of his zeal as a soulwinner. At a revival meeting one day, the
minister turned to him and said, “You are a Christian man; why aren’t you up
and at it?” He went home in anger, and went to bed, but he couldn’t sleep. At
four in the morning he prayed that God would make him a power in his work, and
then went to sleep. At the next meeting of bank presidents, which he attended
shortly afterward, he turned to the man next to him about Christ. His friend
looked at him in amazement and said, “I’ve wondered many times why you never
spoke to me about it if you really believed in Christ.” That man was the first
of 267 people Heinz won to Christ after that time.
Thought for that Day:| Our greatest purpose
in life is to share the gospel.
