Grace for your spirit June 7, 2013

Grace for your spirit
And Jesus said to them, "Follow Me, and I will make you become fishers of men." Mark 1:17

The first four apostles who heard this invitation were professional fishermen, and they knew the challenges and rewards of effective fishing.  Following Jesus they had great experiences fishing for souls.  2000 years later, some might think we were not called to be fishers of men, but 'keepers of the aquarium'. When most of our thoughts, efforts, and resources, are put into our buildings, do we think if our meeting place is pretty enough, people will abandon their cars and rush in?  Sadly, when our evangelism efforts are ignored, we lose our ability to catch fish even in our own aquariums.  Let's mend our nets and get out there again.
