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

Jude longed to share the joys of salvation, which was the dominant theme uniting all of the Christian community, but an insidious cancer developing within the body of the believers threatened to destroy their peace and unity.

Peace is the serenity and confidence that come from reliance on God’s word and from looking above circumstances to the One who overrules all circumstances for the accomplishment of His own purposes.
