"For though I am free from all men, I have made myself a servant to all, that I might win the more; and to the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might win Jews; to those who are under the law, as under the law, that I might win those who are under the law; to those who are without law, as without law (not being without law toward God, but under law toward Christ), that I might win those who are without law; to the weak I became as weak, that I might win the weak. I have become all things to all men, that I might by all means save some." (1 Cor. 9:19-22)

Charlie Shedd tells about a duck hunter who hunted all day and bagged nothing, despite the fact that ducks were everywhere. His companions, seeking to discover the cause of his problem, followed him to the blinds the next day. Their analysis of his difficulty in a nutshell was: "He was shooting ducks in general and not in particular."

In our efforts in converting people to Christ, let us not go off in all directions, but center in on one precious soul. Lord willing, that will make us more successful in our endeavors.
