Daniel 12:3 And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament… Dr. Theodore Cuyler once said concerning the 3,000 souls he had received into the Church during his ministry, "I have handled every stone." A lot of men were imprisoned in a coal-mine, as the result of an accident. Great crowds gathered to help to clear away the earth and rescue the men. An old, grey-headed man cane running up, and, seizing a shovel, began to work with the strength of ten men. Someone offered to relieve the old man. "Get out of the way!" he cried. "I have two boys down there!" Nothing but love for the souls of the unsaved can help to provide a way of escape for them. Five things the personal worker needs: A converted heart, a Scripture-stored mind, a love for souls, a prayerful life, the Spirit of God. Dr. Talmage Once said: "Brethren, do not go fishing for souls with a crawfish for bait, a log-chain for a line, a weaver's beam for a pole, and then scream, 'Bite, or be lost for ever!'" Spurgeon wisely says: "If a man is to be a soul-winner, there must be in him intensity of emotion as well as sincerity of heart. You may repeat the most affectionate exhortations in such a half-hearted manner that no one will be moved either by love or fear. I believe that for soul-winning there is more in this matter than in almost anything else." Parallel Verses KJV: And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever. |
