Fishers of Men

August 8, 2011 | 10 comments

God didn’t ask everyone to be theologians
or scholars
or priests
or nuns.

He didn’t insist that we be teacher-smart
or have all the right words
or know precisely where in that great big Book that
God nested those precious, inked verses.

God didn’t tell us we needed to be brilliant
.

He asks us to do two simple things,
the same things He asked of ordinary guys some-2,000 years ago.

Just these two things:

Follow and Fish.

Friend, Do not under-estimate the power of God in you. We don’t have to be  geniuses to spread the Gospel.

    Thank you for the reminder we are to use on Monday (every day) what we hear on Sunday.

    Reminds me of an acronym I use for myself often…KISS…keep it simple silly (I don’t like the other word usually placed at the end). Anyway – thankful God keeps it simple.

    This is the essence of our faith, isn’t it? IN two words. Follow. Fish.

    I love it.
