““And immediately his fame spread abroad throughout all the region round about Galilee. Mark 1:28 There is a movement today among the youth to make Jesus famous across the world. Jesus is not looking for fame. He has already been famous. Fame is fleeting. Jesus is looking for us to share our faith and be bold soul winners for God. He is looking for people to repent and believe. Fame is futile and passing by the wayside, but the salvation of souls will last forever! It is not good to eat much honey: so for men to search their own glory is not glory. Proverbs 25:27 If you don’t worry about the praises of men, then you won’t worry about the contempt of men either. Someone can mock you or your ministry, and it is really no big deal. Why? You aren’t here to please people. You are here to please God alone.””
