Proverbs 11:30 The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that wins souls is wise. Soul-winning is a blessed possibility to all who are "filled with all the fulness of God." 1. Be prayerful. Have regular hours for secret communion with God. 2. Study the Scriptures. 3. Be gentle. Lead rather than drive. Speak the truth in love. Never argue. 4. Be polite. Haste or brusqueness will repel. A courteous, affable manner is well-nigh irresistible. 5. Be courageous. Trusting the guidance of the Spirit, never be afraid to speak to any soul. 6. Leave the result with God. It is unwise ever to waste time in regrets. A rebuff may mean a soul under strong conviction. Some seeds take longer to sprout than others. Remember you are not working for yourself, but for God; that without Him you could do nothing; and to Him belongs all the glory. (G. F. Pentecost.)
