    Every man has some gift; no man has all. So, every man must minister.

    Gifts for Ministry 1 Peter 4:10 As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.

    We tend to think of negative things when we think of addictions, but there can also be good addictions. For example, I’m addicted to oxygen. Men, if you’re addicted to your wife, that’s a good thing. Women, it’s great to be addicted to your husband. But what about ministry?

     | 1,953 views

    For thousands of years, the concept of marriage as a commitment between one man and woman has served as the foundation of home life and social order; but in the last few years, those foundations are being destroyed in the civil arena. This is disturbing, but not exactly new.
