Is a phrase that,
Implies fishermen (or fishers of men).
It also implies nets.
It also implies mending nets.
It also implies men working together.
Sadly
There are very few people who have heard or heeded the call of Jesus to become fishers of men.
There are even fewer who are trained in casting or fishing a net (evangelizing the lost).
There are even fewer who mend nets (maintain their skills, tools, opportunities, relationships) in the work of God.
Sometimes I see people NETworking in behalf of their "cause," or keeping in touch with friends and loved ones, which are reasonable activities.
I also have friends who can post that they lost a bobby pin or they broke a nail, or they are hoping to get compliments on their "new look," and their friends will light up the computer screen with sympathy, advice, offers to help or lofty words of encouragement.
And of course, the wicked people online are constantly networking to bring chaos into our society.
I think it is sad that in this day of wild confusion that there are so few believers NETworking together on the internet to "cast" the net of truth and "spread" the good news to other people. It is good to network our hobbies, our causes, our excitement and our assistance to other people. BUT it is vital to use the tools God gives us in spreading the good news of the gospel.
