The Linder's religious thing.
I'm gonna wade in here.
1. Jesus chose fishermen as his 1st disciples. (Borrowed their boat to
preach from) ...Jesus used a boat with which they made their living from as
a platform (Literally) to share the Gospel...
2. Jesus knows where the fish are...and proved it to a bunch of professional
fishermen. (Remember these guys had fished all night without anything...n
cast your net on the other side of the boat thing???) Off topic, but very
cool...
3. Paul was a tent maker by trade. He worked with his hands for a
living...in his spare time he wrote 3/4 of the New Testament...made friends
with these same disciples/fishermen. Paul most likely shared his beliefs
with those who did business with him, and later died for doing so...
4. If you study the Old Testament, God always chose people who worked hard
for a living to represent Him.
In summary; If you have been savvy enough to be successful at a TV/Magazine
enterprize...and you are a Christian...and you are blessed enough to live in
a country which affords the right to free speech without persecution...why
not follow the example set by your Leader, a close friend to a bunch of
fishermen?
Just my humble opinion...
