A Burning Desire

An atheist had heard a well-known evangelist preach many times, and always seemed to hear him gladly and with much interest, yet as far as anyone knew, the man never professed any faith in God. Once asked as to why he continued to listen to the evangelist’s preaching though he himself didn’t believe in God, his reply was instructive. He said that though he himself did not believe what the evangelist preached, he certainly believed it, and that drew him to continue listening! If anyone has ever believed and been passionate about the Gospel of Jesus Christ, it is Dr. Sumner Wemp. Dr. Wemp knows the Gospel and he knows Jesus Christ and what He has done in his own life as well as the lives of countless others who have placed their faith in Christ through his simple witness to them, and it is his passion to share that with anyone who cares to listen. He gives us some tried and true pointers in sharing Christ with the lost that has met with interest by all kinds of people. These are not just theories that look good on paper, they have been tested and found extremely useful in bringing many to faith in Christ. As Dr. Wemp said himself, “if the fires and passions of evangelism die in the preacher, they will very likely burn out in the church.” The most natural craving of the born again child of God ought to be to win another person to Christ, and this delightful and insightful course taught by Dr. Sumner Wemp, who obviously has that craving himself, will help to draw it out in the student as well.
