Side Deals with God

When it comes to being a fisher of men, many people in the church today try to cut side deals with God. They internally say things like... I will be bible boy, or missions girl, or volunteer man, or worship woman, or kids worker, but not fisher of men!

The truth is that it is impossible to reconcile being a follower of Jesus and not being a fisher of men. It's a certainty, followers fish. If you're fishing, then you're following. If you're not fishing, then you're not truly following. Yes, it may be uncomfortable being a fisher of men, but we are called to be comfortably uncomfortable. God got uncomfortable for us so that we could have eternal comfort. We must do the same for others.

Read
Matthew 4:18-19 and Matthew 28:18-19.
