H.K.W.H.T.A. (He Knows What He’s Talking About)
“Don’t let the crabs tell you how to pull in the nets.”
— Fordyce Detamore, Seventh-day Adventist evangelist in North America for many years, preparing thousands for baptism and bringing many backslidden Adventists back to a living relationship with Jesus and the church.
When talking with pastors he explained that there are some people who never win any souls to Jesus and the church, but they have a lot of advice for pastors and evangelists on how to win souls and even become agitated or upset about the way some soul winners are winning souls. Detamore encouraged pastors and church leaders to help these well-meaning people go to work for the lost so they could become “fishers of men” instead of “crabs.” H.K.W.H.T.A.
