Tonight we watched a very informative and excellent DVD from the ELCA's Mosaic Television called "The Life of Apostle Peter". We all agreed that we know a lot more about Peter now than when we came at 6:30! One of the things that stood out was the idea that Peter was not a penniless pauper when Jesus called him to become a "fisher of men". He had a home, a business, and, the Bible tells us, a mother-in-law (which implies he had a wife!). He gave up a lot to follow Jesus.
What would we give up to follow Him?
Are we "stretched" by our faith?
Are we willing to leave our comfort zone, to step out of the boat, as Peter did?
Convicting questions. I shall certainly be pondering them.
