Meet the Teacher:

Thomas Wheeler responded to the call from his Lord and Savior to full time service during a very successful career in the engineering field. Upon graduating from Dallas Theological Seminary, Thomas hit the ground running, and hasn't stopped since. He has traveled extensively throughout the United States and Canada, teaching and preaching the word of God. He is fast becoming a well sought-after speaker and teacher, and has been requested to speak at various Bible Conferences throughout the Country. In recent years, when requested to speak to the saints in Africa and South Korea, he graciously responded to the call. His love for His Lord, and his heart for the lost is evident in his teaching.

Evangelization

"It is well for the evangelist to bear in mind, on every fresh occasion of rising to preach, that his unconverted hearers are totally ignorant of the gospel, and hence he should preach as though it were the first time they had ever heard the message, and the first time he had ever delivered it. For, be it remembered, the preaching of the gospel, in the divine acceptation of the phrase, is not a mere barren statement of evangelical doctrine - a certain form of words enunciated over and over again in wearisome routine. Far, very far from it. The gospel is really the large loving heart of God welling up and flowing forth toward the poor lost sinner in streams of life and salvation. It is the presentation of the atoning death and glorious resurrection of the Son of God; and all this in the present energy, glow, and freshness of the Holy Ghost, from the exhaustless mine of Holy Scripture.
Moreover, the one absorbing object of the preacher is to win souls for Christ, to the glory of God. For this he labors and pleads; for this he prays, weeps, and agonizes; for this he thunders, appeals, and grapples with the heart and conscience of his hearer. His object is not to teach doctrines, though doctrines may be taught; his object is not to expound Scripture, though Scripture may be expounded. These things lie within range of the teacher or lecturer; but let it never be forgotten, the preacher's object is to bring the savior and the sinner together - to win souls to Christ. May God by His Spirit keep these things ever before our hearts, so that we may have a deeper interest in the glorious work of evangelism.
