“I thank my God upon every remembrance of you,” (Phil. 1:3) When writing to the believers at Philippi, Paul showed how much they meant to him. He said to them that every time they came to his mind, he thanked God for them. What a testimony! They must have really been a blessing in Paul’s

“Woe to her that is filthy and polluted, to the oppressing city!” (Zep 3:1) As a little boy, I was always playing outside. Little boys don’t think about how dirty they get when they are playing. The life mission of every little boy is to get dirty and have fun. In fact, to a little

“Then Manoah intreated the LORD, and said, O my Lord, let the man of God which thou didst send come again unto us, and teach us what we shall do unto the child that shall be born.” (Judges 13:8) When my children were born I remember thinking, “I wish children came with an instruction manual!”

“Wherefore, brethren, look ye out among you seven men of honest report, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business.” (Acts 6:2-3) There is no greater blessing to a pastor, than godly deacons. Not only are they a blessing to their pastor, but they are also a blessing to
