Gospel Fishing

You must have tackle with which to fish for men: pole—love; line—compassion; hook—faith; bait—the Word of God. You must know the habits of the fish you want to catch. Then you must go where the fish are. It also helps to stay out of sight. Once hooked, the fish is reeled in by prayer.

The difference between catching men and catching fish is that you catch fish that are alive and they die; you catch men that are dead and bring them to life. —H. Lockyer
