I'm Hooked (Fisher of....)

OK, pun intended.

Before Covid I've purchased through Amazon Smile (so that we can get a little back :) ) a fly fishing kit from Wild Water.

Didn't go fishing as I thought it to be boring, looking at a bobber. Went Fishing in December, caught a small fish that just jumped up at the fly, and became hooked (pun intended). Now I've purchased a second rod to go sea fishing at the shore and bay of Mustang Island, cannot wait till June for this vacation. 

The interesting part of this kind of fishing is that you need to know what you are going after, for Trout Fishing on the Frio, we look around and under the stones, what kind of bugs are there, and what is the trout feeding from. Is there something in my fly box that resembles this, yes!!!! let's tie this to the tippet and give it a good effort. If or when this does not work, what other critters are there that they feed on?

Working this way I was able to change fishing into catching during my birthday week in January and catch 24 Trout in one afternoon, how much fun this was.
Having learned this important lesson, why are we as Christians and Pastors so set in our way, and why are we set in one music style or one specific translation or the other?

Jesus told us to be fishers of men, yes fishers it is not always successful to go fish if it would be easy he would have said, be catchers of men. 

A great way for all you fishers of men to relax, and enjoy the outdoors, also a great company that I wholeheartedly endorse for their fly fishing equipment, they have made the sport of Fly Fishing accessible and inside of our budget. Go relax for a while and try it out.
My belief is, that the peace it gives and the lessons we learn, will help us to be better fishers of men too.

Pst. Chris.

ps As I didn't ask first lady for permission to post this picture I blurred her out a little. (maybe also a little a pitty action as she was the only one that day to catch something ;) )

Wow, the Year is almost over, and that makes it surely time to write something about our partnership with Need Him.
From the website;

Need Him Global began in 1996 as a partnership between several evangelical organizations to create a safe place for people to talk about what it means to know Jesus Christ. These organizations included Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, Campus Crusade for Christ, Moody Broadcasting, Ron Hutchcraft Ministries, and Luis Palau Evangelical Association.

From day one our goal has been to use media and technology to communicate the Gospel and encourage conversation about what it means to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. The ministry now uses a diverse set of advertising and social media tools to to reach as many as possible. Through online chat, text messaging and phone calls we have real authentic conversations with thousands of people each day about how a relationship with Jesus changes everything.

Need Him provides Eagle Wings Charismatic Ministries International and with that Eagle Wings Online Radio with high quality Jingles and through those contact information for people with questions concerning faith, or even those in spiritual crisis.
First Lady Wilma provides us each month with a selection of new Jingles offered by Need Him, which are then in turn taken into rotation.
Knowing how much spiritual need there is in the world, this partnership is a great and welcome addition to the ministry of EWCMI.

What a great word of testimony

A million voices in harmony and testimony, there is hope for this world. Halleluyah !!!

why good enough is not good enough

I grew up in a medium sized town in the Netherlands, called Vlaardingen.
My parents were Salvationist (member of the church of the Salvation Army) and i followed in their footsteps.
Within the Salvation Army Corps, as the churches are called, the hymns and choir are accompanied by a brass band.
As the Salvation Army in the past, and still in some places goes and marches down the street to have an open air church service, this brass band plays an integral part in its ministry.
It makes a lot of sense to have a band like that, as it is impossible to take a church organ apart and carry it along with you to that open air meeting.

Yeshua the Lamb of God

The Community of Israel Required A Lamb

When all the people of the community of Israel…—Exodus 12:6

Erroneous anti-Semitic doctrine says the Jewish people killed Jesus. In much of Europe during World War II, Jewish people were not permitted to live—for no reason except they were Jewish. They were called “Christ-killers.” This concept was not new. This erroneous theology that the Jewish people had killed Jesus began in the early Church.
But is this true?
No  !!!!!!

Matthew 20:19 says He would be turned “over to the Gentiles to be mocked and flogged and crucified. On the third day he will be raised to life!”
Did the Gentiles kill Yeshua?
No  !!!!!!!

While reading this article i just needed to share it with you.

A very Long day

It has been a very long day.
This morning at 5 am 1st Lady and I planned to go to the gym, but when I picked up my phone, aarrggghh it was dead, empty, no power.
We use our phones for our workout music, to keep track of our steps etc. etc.
OK, in that case I better get to work, so work started and the first email was out at 5 passed 5.
Worked until 3 PM with a short lunch break, after which church work started, and not at 7 PM I am still at it.

Joyce, on Family and Friends

Today I like to share the following with you.
A true word, and one to take heed.
pst. Chris

Joshua Aaron

Joshua has had the attention of my wife and I for a number of years now, and it only gets better.
A great musician, highly anointed psalmist and a person who just has that easy to connect with personality.
The Song we post here, Hosiana is a song of intercession for Israel and all the nations.
The Lyrics follow below the video.

When Girl With Winning Score is Denied Title, Runner-up Offers Trophy: ‘I didn’t win, you did’

It may be the 21st century, but this archaic golf tournament rule said that Emily Nash could not be given a trophy or award for her score – even though she played better than all the boys.
The 16-year-old was allowed to compete on the Lunenburg High School boy’s team in the Central Mass Division 3 Boys’ Golf Tournament in Lunenburg, Massachusetts earlier this week. But in spite of being able to contribute to the team’s score, she could not be recognized as an individual player.
Emily only realized this after she achieved the best score – 3-over-par – but was denied the title. The trophy was instead awarded to Nico Ciolino of AMSA Charter School, who finished four strokes behind Emily.
Ciolino, however, didn’t want the trophy – instead, he offered it to Emily.
