"Satan selects his disciples when they are idle; but Christ chose His when they were busy at their work, either mending their nets, or casting them into the sea." ~ Farrendon


My reply:

Seeing that Scripture only gives an account of Christ calling 4 fisherman disciples while they were working and Matthew while he was sitting at his tax collector's table, this isn't entirely correct. There's the account of Philip finding Nathaniel (Bartholomew).We never hear exactly where or when the others were called. And as Paul is included in the Apostles, this concept falls flat. He was called while on his way to do great evil. I'm glad God can call anyone anywhere.

I know. I guess I get irritated with preachers/teachers/writers who make these statements that sound good but are not accurate. Jesus actually reprimanded Martha for being busy when she should have been worshipping Him. There is a time and season for everything. I'm often jealous of those who can sit and worship while I pick up the slack.

38Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house. 39And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word. 40But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me. 41And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things: 42But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.

She VISITED? How about living there for six years? Maybe that would give her a different perspective.

And how DARE she make assumptions about other people's standing in Christ!!!! This makes me so mad!
