Be Fisher's of ALL Men

I have two betta fish. One's name is Wilbur and the other Charlie. Wilbur is layed back and friendly. Charlie is high strung and wacky. Wilbur is blue and green. Charlie is silver and pink. Two of the same kind of fish and yet so completely different. People are a lot like that. Some are very quiet and shy. Others are very loud and outgoing. Some have blond hair and blue eyes. Others have red hair and green eyes. All people, yet completely different. Jesus said to be fisher's of men, right? In the time of Jesus what did the fishermen use to catch the fish? Nets. Ok, so say, you decided to fish out in the pacific ocean with a huge net, how many different kinds of fish do you think you would catch? A lot, depending on where exactly you fished. Now, we have churches that are trying to reach a certain type of people. We have the biker churches, the older generation churches, the younger generation churches, the next generation churches....and so on and so forth. The message we use in which to bring people in is 'suppossed' to be the same. Now, so if we throw out our nets into the crowds of people walking the streets, how many different kinds of people do you expect we will catch? A lot. So, be ready. When you throw out your net you are bound to catch what you never expected. The question is, will you throw some fish back in the water because they weren't the ones that you wanted? Be fisher's of ALL men, not just some. Don't be so quick to throw back in the one's that don't look so healthy either. A fish is still a fish, no matter what kind or color. A person is still a person no matter how they look or act.
