Dead Men Walking...and Talking...

...are no match for the Word of God. So Christ implies by his parable of the rich man and Lazarus (Luke 16.31). Every time I read this passage I am stunned anew by the hardness of men's hearts and the power of the Scriptures. Abraham states plainly that if men are not convinced of their need for a Saviour by the words of Scripture; they will not be convinced by dead men walking, and warning them of what lies beyond death.

In light of this truth, how ought we to evangelize? Scripture and more Scripture. Take every opportunity to get it before those to whom we share. Speak it. Teach it. Read it. Proclaim it. If men are saved, they will be saved through the Word of God.
