Thirsting Souls Bible Teaching

(1Co 1:14) “I thank God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius;… (16) …the household of Stephanas:… (17) For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.”  Of course words are used to communicate God’s Word. The point here is that the dependency is not upon self’s wisdom or abilities to bring about results. Only the Lord can truly reach the heart, the conscience, to bring about true repentance.
