The right kind of bait

You must use the right kind of bait. Many don’t do this and wonder why they’re not successful. 

You see them try different types of entertainment to try and catch men. This is a step in the wrong direction. 

This perishing world wants Christ, and Him crucified. 

There’s a void inside every man that wants to be filled up. If we approach them with the right kind of bait, we will catch them. 

This dying world needs a Savior. 

If we are going to be successful in catching men, we must preach Christ crucified. We must preach not only His life but also His death. 

If we are faithful in doing this, we will succeed. And why? Because of His promise. 

Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. 

That promise is just as valid to you and me as it was to His disciples. It is as true now as it was in their time.
