'Fishers of men

"Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men ." Matthew 4:19

We must love those we seek to save — but we must love Christ more; we must love them, because we love Christ.

We must strive to win souls, not for ourselves, but for Christ.

It is not sufficient to get people to love us — we must get them to love our Savior, to trust in Him, and to commit their lives to Him.

We must remain out of sight.

Anyone who thinks of his own honor as he engages in any Christian service, is not a vessel ready to be used by Christ.

We need to be careful that no shadows of our pride, our ambition, or our self-seeking, fall upon our work for Christ.
