November 2, 2007

Good Morning! Today is another fine day in the Lord! We are all ministers and witnesses to our risen Lord Jesus. What is the difference? I think that a ministry comes from the head and the heart. We learn from our elders, the Bible, and from other ministers. Some ministers go to college to learn even more. We also learn from living. Witness comes from the heart, from listening to the voice of the Holy Spirit, and from telling what God has done for us. All of who believe in Christ have both a witness and a ministry. You and I may not stand up in front of groups on Sunday morning as ordained pastors of churches, and may God bless and guide those who do, but we have little ministries of our own as we speak to coworkers, children, friends, and neighbors first through our witness and then through our ministry. Is it really, really important that we distinguish between the two? Not really, in letting God guide us through His Holy Spirit, we will share the Good News is just the right way for any person or situation. Will everyone be saved? No, we already know from the Bible that some will choose not to believe until their dying day. That is why we look up to Jesus and not down to despair. I pray that each of you will have a wonderful day at work and a great weekend!
God bless and keep you my brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus!
