He that winneth souls is wise
"In Proverbs we read: "He that winneth souls is wise." If any man, women, or child by a godly life and example can win one soul to God, his life will not have been a failure. He will have outshone all the mighty men of his day, because he will have set a stream in motion that will flow on and on forever and ever."

My Thoughts: Is your goal today and everyday to win souls for Christ's glory? Have you ever prayed before your day starts and ask God to bring you someone that you may tell about the loving Savior of the world. If not I encourage you to do so, it may surprise you the doors God opens to witness the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

True Repentance and Conviction
When a man is not deeply convicted of sin, it is a pretty sure sign that he has not truly repented. Experience has taught me that men who have very slight conviction of sin sooner or later lapse back into their old life.
There are three thing that lead to conviction: (1) Conscience; (2) the Word of God; (3) the Holy Spirit. All three are used by God. Long before we had any Word, God dealt with men through the conscience. That is what made Adam and Eve hide themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the Garden of Eden.
Conscience is "a divinely implanted faculty in man telling him that he ought to do right and wrong". But conscience is not a safe guide, because very often it will not tell you a thing is wrong until you have done it. God gave conscience first, and gave the Comforter afterward. Conscience bears bears witness to the law, and the Comforter bears witness to Christ. Conscience brings legal conviction, the Comforter brings evangelical conviction. Conscience brings conviction unto condemnation, and the Comforter brings conviction unto justification.
