Theodore Austin Sparks, 1888-1971, a British pastor, is remembered so vividly by many, for he was a man who, above all, sought to live what he believed. For him, the Gospel was not a job, a career or a way to gain notoriety. He dropped the "Reverend" after coming to the powerful realization that the living Christ within him wanted full expression through him. Thus the confession of Scripture "it is no longer I that lives, but Christ lives in me," became a most important driving force in his life. This passion he carried for our Lord opened doors of ministry on several continents.
