Jesus gathered his team, starting with four tough fishermen, Simon, Andrew, James and John. A fisherman at the time was a strong man who caught his fish in heavy nets. Jesus needed strong men on his team, because he had set his foot on a path which would lead to changing the world, and the world just HATES being made to change.

Doing your own Homework
I've often said that the reason King James Bibles are so often bound in soft leather bindings is as a reminder that we are not to use them as weapons. Nonetheless, so much Bible quoting today seems to be just that -- embrace some point of view which pleases you, then find a Bible passage to swat those who disagree with. We have too many Bible quoters and not enough Bible studiers; too many self-proclaimed experts and too few humble listeners.

The Bishop's Complaint
Our churches in contemporary America are such peaceful, safe and non-confrontational places that I wonder if John Calvin's assertion that
“We are consecrated and dedicated to God, that we are not our own, but the Lord’s” still enjoys any currency in our churches? The Bishop wonders, too.
