I once said to Dr. H. M. Shuman, long-time president of The Christian and Missionary Alliance and a very wise old Christian philosopher: “Dr. Shuman, nobody will follow me. I can’t help but notice all of the big leaders with their charm and personality to spare—all they have to do is whistle, and there come the crowds.” Dr. Shuman said, “Just thank God that they are not following you. If they won’t follow you, just preach Jesus, and they will follow Him!”
