    God led the Church in Jerusalem to select men of Godly character to meet a specific service need of the congregation, and then blessed the position by including through Paul, led by the Spirit, high qualifications and responsibility for men so selected.

    While Kevin Costner starred in a movie called DANCES WITH WOLVES, Steve Irwin was wrestling with crocodiles in real life. I’m sure WRESTLES WITH CROCODILES is his Indian name or at least needs to be. John the Baptist has his own crocodiles to wrestle.

    Part 2 – Matthew 11:7-10 – WRESTLES WITH CROCODILES! He was nicknamed “THE CROCODILE HUNTER”, and he was a unique man with a smile as wide as fun itself and Australian to the core. You couldn’t help but remember STEVE IRWIN! He and his wife Terri owned and operated ...read more

    You may be retired from secular work, but your work for God has just been enlarged!

    During my meditation and prayer time it came to me that I am not retired, I am in full time ministry!
