Fishers of Men

Follow me and I will make you fishers of men.

I'm in the middle of reading this book right now- for the first time. I don't know what to say abt. it besides that it has been such a huge encouragement to me. We've been going through Adam Stanley's series GO FISH on Sunday nights. This book has seemed to go right along with it.

This is one my favorite books about family. It goes right along with becoming fishers of men as well. It talks about the huge crisis of the American Christian family- the crisis between belief and action. We got the book through Liberty a couple of years back and I've gone through it a couple of times now- always keeping it close...like Shepherding a Child's Heart and Raising Kid's for True Greatness it's been a great book for us to go back to often. I will probably share some things out of it soon.

Isaiah 58

"...to loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free...to share your food with the hungry and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter- when you see the naked, to clothe him, and not turn away from your own flesh and blood..Then your light will break forth like the dawn, and your healing will quickly appear; then your righteous One will go before you, and the glory of the Lord will be your rear guard...if you do away with the yoke of oppression, with the pointing finger and malicious talk, and if you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry and satisfy the needs of the oppressed, then your light will rise in the darkness, and your night will become like the noonday. The Lord will guide you always; he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail... you will be called Repairer of Broken Walls, Restorer of Streets with Dwellings...if you honor [Me] by not going your own way and not doing as you please or speaking idle words, then you will find your joy in the Lord, and I will cause you to ride on the heights of the land and to feast on the inheritance of you father Jacob. " The mouth of the Lord has spoken.
