George Whitfield’s Sense of Urgency in Preaching the Gospel

“It should bless our hearts to see people turn to Christ, but it should also break our hearts when they turn away. George Whitfield often had to stop preaching because he broke into tears.

Every time I preach I wonder if someone is hearing the gospel for the last time. [3]
