WHAT KIND ARE YOU?

2Timothy 4:5 But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an EVANGELIST, make full proof of thy ministry.
The late Roland Q. Leavell in his book, Evangelism: Christ's Imperative Commission, stated that of all the reported Church members:
5 per cent do not exist,
10 per cent cannot be found,
20 per cent never pray,
25 per cent never read the Bible,
30 per cent never attend Church services,
40 per cent never give any money to the church,
50 per cent never go to Sunday School,
60 per cent never go to Church Sunday night,
70 per cent never give to missions,
80 per cent never go to prayer meeting,
90 per cent never have family worship, and
95 per cent never win a soul to Christ.

If these statistics are correct, they simply mean that as far as evangelism is concerned only 5 per cent of the Church members are obedient to Christ. In my experience I would judge that this figure is actually high.(copied)

These figures make us examine ourselves and the work we are doing for our Lord. I want to ask the readers to pray for me that I will be more diligent in reaching others for Christ. I think sometimes that not sharing our faith is not because we lack opportunity but because we lack courage.

During the civil war a small company of Confederate soldiers was surrounded by the Union troops. They were huddled down, trying not to be discovered, that is all but one of them. He went out into the surrounding woods and began to capture the Yankee soldiers one at a time. By the time morning came the Union troops had moved on but they left behind nearly thirty of their men who had been captured one at a time by the Rebel soldier.

Someone asked him, "How did you capture all those Yankees." "It was easy," he answered," The woods were full of them."

When it comes to sharing our faith with people who don't know Jesus it should be easy. "The woods are full of them."
