INSIGHT

Gospel Seed Is The Only Seed

  • Evangelism's core is the pure gospel: the cross and the resurrection.
  • Faith comes by hearing the Word concerning Christ, not by human cleverness.
ADVICE

Sow Humble, Not Proudly

  • Sow the gospel without boasting; anyone who proclaims the Word is a sower.
  • Do not rely on persuasive speech but trust God's power to generate faith.
INSIGHT

It's The Soil, Not The Sower

  • The real issue in evangelism is the soil — people's hearts — not the sower or the seed.
  • Preachers cannot change hearts; regeneration is God's work alone.
