The Law Of The Harvest (3 of 4)
Series: The Harvest
James Merritt
Psalm 126:5-6
INTRODUCTION
1. Recently while being on a mission trip in Romania, I had the privilege of staying overnight in London, England. While touring that beautiful city, I was standing in front of Westminster abbey, the beautiful church where all of the monarchs of England are crowned, and the site of the funeral of princess Diana.

4. I wish southern Baptists really did believe that. But according to the north American mission board 96.7% of all southern Baptists have never shared a verbal witness with one lost person. 73% of southern Baptist churches have no soul-winning training program.
5. I believe Dr. R. G. Lee, the former pastor of Bellevue Baptist church, was correct when he said, ''the greatest sit-down strike in the world is in our churches, where those who claim to be saved have never yet become fishers of men.''

If you will sow the seed of the gospel of Jesus Christ, you are guaranteed to reap souls for eternity. That is the law of the harvest.
7. These verses comprise god's word for god's witness. This is god's promise to the soul-winner. We are told three wonderful things about how to pu ...
