Quote:
Matthew 4:19 And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.
As a pastor, I spent years teaching plans, programs, methods, and formulas but failed to see this simple truth in scripture. "Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men." Know, love, and follow Jesus and witnessing of Him will be spontaneous and natural. Teach, proclaim, share, exalt, magnify, and glorify the Lord Jesus Christ. And while we're at it:
Matthew 9:38 Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.

Bro. Forrest,
Very well put! I couldn't agree more and I'm sorry to say that I've missed the meaning of these verses...So often we read our Bibles with the same thoughts and expectations and we think we've already learned the lesson it contains.
Thank you Brother for the admonishment.
