Friend, gotta bite?
Matthew 4:19 And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.
Yesterday, I was talking to good friend of ours in the States who loves to fish. Fishing is one of his favorite activities and he goes quite frequently. As we were talking, he happened to mentioned some disappointment about a friend canceling a fishing trip they were to going to enjoy. I replied, “Bro, maybe the Lord wants you to go fishing for men today!”
He quickly answered that he’s much better at fishing for fish than he is at fishing for men. “At least the fish bite every now and then.” he said.
“Well,” I asked, “But how much practice have you really had in fishing for men?”
So many of us make excuses, reasoning that we’re just not good enough at sharing the gospel to do it regularly. But really -- how often do we practice? We can’t get good at something with out putting in the practice!
Friend, let's really try to talk about the Gospel regularly. It can be tough, sure, but we've got to push past our worries and just go for it, spreading God's love and truth. When we seek to share under His anointing, you'd be amazed how God radically prepares hearts before us. The gospel has the power to radically change lives ... don't be surprised when sharing how God will end up changing you too!
Your family in the Lord with much agape love,
George, Baht Rivka, Obadiah and Elianna

Will Israel apply martial law in Gaza?
Israel appears to be on its way to realizing the idea of a military administration in the Gaza Strip. In view of actions on the ground, it seems that Israel has increased its activity toward implementation of the move. Netanyahu's senior coalition members, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, have already expressed their opinion on the matter countless times, but now things seem to be getting a push on the ground. Ynet has learned that, in the last few days, the security establishment is beginning to actively work with external companies that will handle all humanitarian aid issues in the Gaza Strip, under Israeli supervision.
