The Soul Winner - an exposition of Proverbs 11:30, is the fifth section in our latest book

“He that winneth souls is wise.” Who wins souls? Is winning souls the work of man? Is it the work of the Church? What does it mean to win souls? Men do not win souls for the simple reason that they cannot win souls. It is part of the perversity of human nature that it will not voluntarily ascribe salvation to the Lord nor give him the glory for the same. Man must needs be his own Savior and he fain would save, not only himself, but certain of his fellow men as well. Man would be God. Christ is the only soul winner.
