Fishing. It’s not on the top of my list of things to do in my spare time. Hate might be too strong of a word, but, to this point in my life, I definitely haven’t found fishing to be a joyful experience.
I know others who love it. They invest their time and resources into it. They enjoy the experience, and, might I sadly add, are quite successful at it. They catch fish! I, on the other hand, catch no fish!
After some honest evaluation, I have come up with some reasons why I might not be a good fisherman:
So why track ‘em down? Why trick ‘em into biting my fake fish snack on a hook? Just to end up in the hand of someone who at the point of capture holds their ultimate destiny in his hand?
I might be open to fishing if it didn’t all depend on me. If someone promised to MAKE ME a fisherman. (Read Mark 1:16-18.)
We begin a new 5-week message series called GO FISH that will explain how God wants to make us fishers of men and women. Discover how sharing your faith in today’s culture can be a natural, regular part of your daily life.
