SUMMARY:Pastor's letter to Grace Church
DESCRIPTION:Dear Church Family\, \nI enjoy fishing.  One of my favorite spots growing up was a pond that a farmer had put in about ¼ mile from our house when I was still young.  The farmer built the pond behind a pre-existing fence\, and as it filled\, the pond enveloped a portion of the fence.  As the fish grew\, this underwater fence line became a great place to catch fish. \nWhile fishing with my brothers one day\, I was casting toward the fence when the wind caught my line and flung my lure over the barbed wire.  I attempted a quick jerk of the line to flick the lure back over\, but the line caught\, and the lure spun around the wire\, becoming firmly stuck\, dangling about 6” above water.  I now had two options: I could strip down\, swim out\, and save my lure\, or I could break my line and abandon it.  I chose the latter. \nI gave the line a very sharp yank\, which made the barbed wire move and made the lure jerk as well.  The wiggle of the lure enticed a largemouth bass to launch out of the water and grab my lure.  Now it was left flopping on the line.  All of a sudden\, the value of that lure increased.  My older brother told me to hold the line\, and he jumped in after the fish.  Unfortunately\, the bass continued to flop and got off the line before my brother got there.  [I know this story sounds crazy and very unlikely.  If you want\, I’ll give you my brother’s number\, and you can call him.  I actually talked to him while writing this\, and we had a good laugh over it.]  \nHere’s my point:  God has called us to be fishers of men\, and I think there are some takeaways we can glean from this story: \n\nDon’t be afraid to fish where you might get tangled up. People hide where they feel safe\, and this is where you need to fish!\nDon’t think that just because you screwed up the presentation\, no one will be interested in what you’re saying. The gospel is the best lure out there.  Put it out there in front of someone and let God do the rest.\nYou won’t always “catch a fish.” They may show some interest.  They may even grab hold of something.  But in the end\, they may spit the truth out.  That’s not on you.  Your job is to fish.\n\nI can’t force you to fish\, and God won’t either\, yet He has promised a reward for those who do.  Let’s go after it! \nAfter all\, what gives us hope and joy\, and what will be our proud reward and crown as we stand before our Lord Jesus when he returns? It is you!                                    [NLT]  1 Thessalonians 2:19 \nPastor Daniel \n  \n  \n  \n  \n
