last night a friend from church invited me to go fishing on lake tawakoni. it was a blast!! until last night my fishing experience consisted of fishing from a pier or the side of river. the first thing we did was catch our bait. we used fish bigger than anything I have ever caught as bait!
as we were out on the boat i noticed several different things about fishing. i also couldn't help but think of our responsibility as Christians to be "fishers of men."
1. i had to make the effort to go fishing. fishing is not a routine of mine so i had to adjust some things and make it part of my schedule.
2. we used different kinds of bait in order to catch the fish.
3. it took time....and patience.
4. it was so exciting when we reeled in a big one that i couldn't wait to recast the line.
i would encourage you to spend a few minutes thinking about being a "fisher of men." how do you see these 4 things playing out in the church and in our role as believers?
