Eric Watson retired 17 years ago as Superintendent of our Baptist Union of Scotland. He's as sharp and insightful as ever. Three quotes from table-talk with him:
- The endless search for programmes for revival is useless, unless people see that being, not doing, is where you must start
- Christians have to realise that they are doing mission every day, whether they want to or not. The only question is 'what witness are others seeing in them?'
- Real fishermen go out and let their nets down into the deep places, to reach down to catch fish, where they get torn and ripped by rocks. They need to repair the nets. Sunday is our time for repairing the net of the church, before the net is let down through the week to catch fish among the rocks.
