    What are the biblical requirements for the office of deacon. In 1 Tim. 3:1-7 the requirements for pastor are given, and so we have a pulpit committee and perhaps even a background check. But 1 Tim. 3:8-13 makes it clear that we need to be careful in choos

    Family portraits are wonderful. But they can also be deceiving as many families are far from the happy group pictured. Acts 2:42-47 is a family portrait that portrays the early church when they were a happy group. What can we learn?

We cherish seeing loved ones all connected together, providing a picture that will produce memories for the ages. But family portraits can also be deceiving.
