Par 6: "Jesus did not lecture or threaten his disciples. He neither burdened them with unreasonable demands nor advised them to do one thing while he himself did something else. Rather, Jesus taught them by example."
I've known many a hard nosed C.O. lecture and threaten the servant body on need to maintain at least the national average of monthly hours and need to maintain high visibility in field ministry or heads would roll at next visit. I remember always thinking to myself.... go to hell you S O B! Many a C.O. and D.O. are clueless as to the pressure on modern day heads of household!
PS: Blondie says: " Sorry, it has been getting harder to swallow this." Do I need to remind you how much you are appreciated! No pessure intended. But as hard as some have tried, no body does it better than................. Blondie!
Thank you from the bottom of my our heart.
