Fishers of Men

Jesus told His Apostles to follow Him, and He would make them fishers of men. The Gospel is like a net that catches spiders, frogs, gar fish, catfish, crabs, ells, and all sorts of creatures. The net is pulled ashore, or in the boat, and the good fish are taken to market, or to the table, and the tad poles and spiders go back in the water after the revival is over with. A Trout like moving bait, and one that is fresh, and one with blood in it, and it takes skill to catch one. Now a catfish is soleful, and likes the mud holes, and has poison fins on him, and has no scales...Any kind of bait will do, fresh or rotten, as any kind of a preacher can catch him, and takes no special skill at all. Now there is a fish called a toad fish, and he has a tiny mouth like a turtle, and will nibble on your bait, and will not get hooked...Sit on the church bench night after night and never get hooked on the Gospel hook... This kind of fish has all sorts of sharp stickers on him, and you have to handle him with kid-gloves, and there are people like that. I have caught them many times, but the way you catch him is this; you snag him in the side and pull him out of the water, and he puffs up, and I have kicked them like a football. So don't miss this; That kind of person in a church, something will come up, as God forces the issue, and something happens to expose that kind of nature and life-style he lives, and he sees that people see what he really is, and he gets so mad he never comes back, as he puffs up. Let us be a trout fish for God, one desirable to be on His Table.
