He that winneth souls is wise.
The Apostle Paul wrote of his different approaches with the gospel toward different types of people (1 Cor. 9:19-2319For though I be free from all men, yet have I made myself servant unto all, that I might gain the more. 20And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law; 21To them that are without law, as without law, (being not without law to God, but under the law to Christ,) that I might gain them that are without law. 22To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some. 23And this I do for the gospel's sake, that I might be partaker thereof with you. (1 Corinthians 9:19‑23)). He even became as weak, that he might gain the weak! The object was not to promote himself as a religious authority, nor to change God’s standards, but by all means to save some. Sometimes a gentle remark or a thought provoking question is more effective than an authoritative statement.
