Not Enough

 

We are good and kind to people – most of us. We comfort them in their sorrow. We help them in their trouble. We are courteous and gentle and neighborly toward them. But we do not try to save their souls. We shall never do all the work of our “day,” as Christians, until we learn to seek the salvation of every unsaved soul that God brings near to us. It is our duty to do good to others in all gentle and beautiful ways; – the work of the Lord includes the smallest courtesies and the simplest kindnesses. But saddest of all neglects is to be polite and gracious to people in all neighborly ways, and yet never seek to lead them to Christ to be saved.
