Being the owner of several large and small fish tanks I have way over thought this blog entry ! Somebody has to take care of the aquarium or the fish die. If it wasn't for the fishermen we would have no fish to keep alive, so it's a balance. I see myself as both. If you think about it all fishers of men SHOULD be keepers of the aquarium as well. I look at this as discipleship. Being a keeper of the aquarium is a requirement of a fisherman. We are called to disciple not just to "catch." There is way more to owning a large aquarium than most people think. Just like there is way more to ministry than most people think. I like this thought process...think of all the parallels we can draw from this visual. Certain fish can only live with certain fish. We have separate classes for different people as well....and so on !! Some aquarium owners just throw in a little food every now and then. Their tanks may look good at first but its only a matter of time and the water gets murky then the whole aquarium dies !!! I could go on but I will let you think of some more.....
Peace and Love
Jeff
