The church in Corinth split probably for the same reasons modern-day churches do. Some people identified with the ministry style of Peter. Others were drawn to Paul’s personality. Still others felt a connection with Apollos. We rightly learn from the insights of spiritual leaders, but crowing about one’s own leader and criticizing all others is wrong, petty, and immature.

Either a single boat would make a huge circle with the net, or two boats would suspends the net between them and make a sweep toward the shore. When the net was in a tight circle, It was possible to pull in the lower rope so that the net formed a huge bag from which the fish could not escape.
