Because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts.&quot;&quot; &#8211;Isaiah 6:5 <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Let a flood or a fire hit a populous countryside and no able-bodied citizen feels that he has any right to rest till he has done all he can to save as many as he can. While death stalks farmhouse and village no one dares relax; this is the accepted code by which we live. The critical emergency for some becomes an emergency for all, from the highest government official to the local Boy Scout troop. As long as the flood rages or the fire roars on, no one talks of &quot;&quot;normal times.&quot;&quot; No times are normal while helpless people cower in the path of destruction. <\/p>\n<p>In times of extraordinary crisis ordinary measures will not suffice. The world lives in such a time of crisis. Christians alone are in a position to rescue the perishing. We dare not settle down to try to live as if things were &quot;&quot;normal.&quot;&quot; Nothing is normal while sin and lust and death roam the world, pouncing upon one and another till the whole population has been destroyed. Born After Midnight, 30. <\/p>\n<p>&quot;&quot;Lord help me to respond like Isaiah, when he saw the extraordinary crisis around him, &#8216;Lord, here am I; send me.&#8217; Amen.&quot;&quot; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Evangelism Every notable advance in the saving work of God among men will, if examined, be found to have two factors present: several converging lines of providential circumstances and a person.
