Don't Give Up

Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Mar 25, 2025

Forsaking All To Follow One

Contributed by Mark Elkins on Jan 3, 2003

What does it mean to forsake all? What does it mean to follow Him? What keeps us today from doing what the disciples did?

In the preceding verses we see the miracle of fish. It wasn’t really a miracle at all. To Jesus it was the norm. He created the water for the fish, He created the fish for man, and He taught man how to catch the fish. He was just doing it at a more rapid pace. Just like when He quieted the ...read more

Contributed by F R on Aug 17, 2008

Gen 1:1
