\u201cCome, follow me,\u201d\u00a0Jesus said,\u00a0\u201cand I will send you out to fish for people.\u201d At once they left their nets and followed him. Mark 1: 17-18<\/p>\n\n\n\n
God starting using me to write the weekly \u201cChallenge\u201d back in April of 2001. It was sent to a dozen friends via email and ended up growing to over 200 readers. In April of 2011, a friend developed a website for me, which has allowed the \u201cChallenge\u201d to do even more for Jesus. www.act-ministries.org<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n The website has a picture of an open bible with the light of the sun shining on it. The Lord had put it on my heart to find a picture of a bridge. I scanned hundreds of pictures of different bridges. In my search, I came across the picture I ended up using, because it said to me that His word is the bridge between Him and His people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Below that picture is a man standing in the ocean casting a net. That was the other thing that the Lord had put on my heart after giving me the scripture reading in Mark 1:17-18. He calls each of us to fish for more followers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I remember when God said to me, \u201cJack, come follow me.\u201d I wish I could say that I dropped what I was doing immediately to follow Him, but instead the invitation left me paralyzed. I finally agreed to follow, but not to fish for others. It took me a while to figure out that the two go together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Have I said yes to follow Jesus? Have I said yes to cast His net?\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Absorbing God Word \u201cCome, follow me,\u201d\u00a0Jesus said,\u00a0\u201cand I will send you out to fish for people.\u201d At once they left their nets and followed him.
