Truth Exposed:  Gone Fishing

How do you fish for people?  Mark 1:16-18 tells us Jesus said he would teach us how to do this.  Hmmmm.  Use a net and bring them in by the pound?  Use a rod for one at a time?  What kind of bait?  Can you imagine the questions this statement brought up to fishermen?  I think I know about the bait: grace, mercy, compassion, and forgiveness, depending on the “fish.” Jesus used the fruit of the Spirit to lure the “fish” Galatians 5:22-23.   The perfect bait, it calls to everyone.  How long has your line been in the water with no bites?  Check your bait.

Read carefully.

Know your scriptures.
