need of the Saviour.

coffee, playing in the soccer team and performing

There is a story told of a high school teacher who
could neither read nor write. Somehow he had

worked the system all the way through school and

eventually through college, without the most basic

thousands of pulpits in our churches are now being

filled by people who have never come to personal

faith in Jesus Christ. In addition, I believe entire
churches are filled with people who have never

been born again.
