EVANGELISTIC CASTING

We're not told that every fish in the sea swam to the net. We're not told that a certain number of fish were caught in the net. We're told that Jesus first indicated His awareness that they had caught nothing, then gave a command that they cast their net on the right side of the boat, and the result of their obedience was that their nets were full.

Now I'm not going off on some new and strange teaching in this. I'm simply pointing out to you that it is men who fish all night, but it is Jesus who fills the net. All of our evangelistic 'casting' is for nothing unless the Father draws men to Christ. - c.e.t.
