ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men.

their nets, and followed him.

around them who are not godly and God-fearing them lead them to wrong direction

loved this present world, and is departed unto Thessalonica; Crescens to
Galatia, Titus unto Dalmatia.

influence those new Christians to follow his wrong steps.
c. Inside the local Church we can some inconsistent Church Christian
that are following the steps of the Lord Jesus Christ.

and did not copy their bad testimony.
( Romans 16:17-18 ) [17]Now I beseech you, brethren,
mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye
have learned; and avoid them.
[18]For they that are such serve
not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair
speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.
* Paul warns the Christians to stay away or avoid them from those
Christians that causes divisions inside the Church.
* Paul said that they are not serving the Lord Jesus Christ but their
own belly or they are serving men, they are men pleasers.

A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
[15]Neither do men light a candle,
and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all
that are in the house.

them to win lost people.
( Acts 6:26-29 ) [26]Then went the captain with the
officers, and brought them without violence: for they feared the people, lest
they should have been stoned.
[27]And when they had brought
them, they set them before the council: and the high priest asked them,
[28]Saying, Did not we straitly
command you that ye should not teach in this name? and, behold, ye have filled
Jerusalem with your doctrine, and intend to bring this man's blood upon us.
[29]Then Peter and the other
apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.
