Different Roles, Same Assignment

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Jul 9, 2021

There are some in the body of Christ who see those with public roles (ministries) in the body of Christ as being more valuable to the kingdom than those who don’t. But this is simply not true when you see “the big picture.”

They were not teaching Sunday school. They didn’t lead the choir. They served on committees. They were not unhappy. They ...read more

1 Peter 1:13 Therefore, prepare your minds for action; be self-controlled; set your hope fully on the grace to be given you when Jesus Christ is revealed. 14 As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance. 15 But just as he who called you is holy, so be ...read more
