Tell City Nazarene Church's Biblical Journey
With Pastor Charles Areson
Today's reading is Luke 5-8
If you think about it the same material is used to build a power plant as is to make a bomb. A knife can be used as a scalpel to save a life or as a dagger to take a life. It's how the material is developed, shaped, and used. This brings us to Jesus call of Peter in Luke 5: "From now on you will catch men."
Jesus wasn't telling Peter he wasn't going to be doing any catching which is what he had probably been doing all his life but now he was going to have a different reason and a different catch. God uses who and what we are to do His work. Moses had a staff, David had a sling, Gideon had a trumpet yet God did great things through these people using what they had.
It may not look like much or it may look completely fowl, but whatever you have your history, your talents, your body even, God can and will use it for a good work, if you let him. Following Jesus might not be as radically different than you think.
