Mark 1:17 (NIV): "Come, follow me," Jesus said, "and I will make you fishers of men."
This is a serious call, one that demands our attention. If the command is to follow Jesus and He will make us fishers of men, then if we are not fishing, then we are not following. Have you been fishing lately? Decide to follow Jesus and go fishing (for people) every day!

The following poem was shared with me by one of my members:
Don't look for me, I've gone fishing Just as my Father said,
Reeling in souls for Jesus, Hungry for His Living Bread.
I've packed all equipment needed to get the job done.
By setting of the sun today, many a soul will be won.
I have the fishing pole, my relationship with God.
Plenty of line is available, I've studied mighty hard.
The bait is packed and plentiful , my experiences in life.
The hook is new and strong, the Word of God in Christ
The cooler's waiting to be filled, the Church of God you see.
The chair a resting place, to humble and wait patiently.
With time I'll get a nibble, or may even a bite.
An opportunity to fish for God, from morning until night.
So when you look for me and find that I’m not there,
Please note the sign above my door,
GONE FISHING FOR THE LORD, SOMEWHERE.
