Fishers of Men

In the first century conversions were like fishing with a stick of dynamite or with a gill net. Huge numbers obeyed the Gospel call. In large part due not only to the power of the Gospel message but also to the great miracles that were worked. Today conversions are usually one at a time, like fishing with a fishing pole. The bait that attracts the potential convert is the Gospel message coupled with the example of a Christ-like life. Sometimes a fish will hit that bait and run with it. Other times, like a flounder, they just want to hold it in their mouth for a while. Everyone’s different… some need more time. Be patient give the Gospel message and the power of a Christian life time to work.
