Illustration (from Dennis Rainey): Set out a “minefield of traps. I happen to have some animal traps – huge deadly-looking metal devices I inherited from my grandfather. Set them out all over the floor. Label them with things like “greed”, “lust”, “power”, “popularity”, and “Alcohol”.

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
