You may be right since there are many blogs here ranging from the against to the for and many degrees in between. However I would like to just put my thoughts down. I am not going to be preachy (or at least try). I just hope that something I write may just give some people a different perspective of some things.hourly12000-01-01T12:00+00:00https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/witenite3333580/611362Each person needs to make a decision as an individual whether to accept Christ as Lord and Savior or reject Him. The decision is in our hands and has no relationship with any other person on Earth. The decision is not even in God's hands. He has made the Way available and He asks that ALL choose...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/witenite3333580/611128I and Walter Jenkins have written a book, Soldier Sailor Scribe.

On his 3rd trip he spent 2 years in Ephesus. He built a big following in Ephesus. Paul could have gotten very comfortable preaching there. Act 19:9 But when some became stubborn and continued in unbelief,...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/witenite3333580/571094Paul was a zealot. I don't mean that unkindly it was just his personality. Paul pursued whatever he did with zeal and passion. If Paul had not been a Pharisee, I am sure he would have been a great business leader or politician. But he was a Pharisee and not just any pharisee but a pharisee of...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/witenite3333580/570692Evangelists are the rescuers. They go out and find the lost. They may go into places unknown and fraught with danger to look for those who need rescuing. We also know evangelists as missionaries. Paul was an evangelist before he was an apostle. His first missionary jouney was really his role as...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/witenite3333580/569998We come to the much maligned prophets. Really who would want to be one. They get mocked, beaten, killed or even worse just downright ignored. What use do they have in the church? Quite a few from what I can see. Pssst! Do you want to know a secret? A prophet gets to hears Gods little secrets and...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/witenite3333580/569801Eph 4:11 And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers, Somewhere in history, teachers began teaching that apostles and prophets were not needed after the first century.

Before we begin our quest for promotion we must be rooted and...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/witenite3333580/569227The major problem we have as Christians is identity. In the last post I mentioned the IBM worker who had to were his blue suit everywhere. That was his identity. We can spot policemen, firemen and the such by what they wear. How do people spot a Christian? Tough one isn't it since we don't have a...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/witenite3333580/569045Jesus said, "Joh 5:19 So Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of his own accord, but only what he sees the Father doing. For whatever the Father does, that the Son does likewise". How many Christians know what the Father is doing so they can do likewise? Using...
