JESUS SAID “I WILL MAKE YOU FISHERS OF MEN”

Matt 4:18-20 – “And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.  9) And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.  20) And they straightway left their nets, and followed him.”  Mark 1:17 – “Come after me and I will make you to be fishers of men.” (KJV) Continue reading →

The Lord has a good life for all of us.  In Jeremiah 29:11 God says, “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil to give you an expected end.”

The answer to these two questions in Psalm 42:5 goes on and says, “…Hope in God, for I shall yet praise Him for the help of His countenance.” Continue reading →
