We're all in "full time ministry"

"And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men." (Colossians 3:23, KJV)

When I was in Texas last summer I met a man named Jerry Ramos, who leads a men's fellowship and prayer group at his house. He has an amazing testimony about how the Lord miraculously lead him out of Satanism. He also sends out a "Word of the Day" by email almost every day. Here is an example:
The Word !!

1 Corinthians 15:58 So, my dear brothers and sisters, be strong and steady, always enthusiastic about the Lord's work, for you know that nothing you do for the Lord is ever useless. (NLT)

The Thought !!

You may feel, "It's not worth it!" today. God knows your efforts and struggles. Don't lose heart! Everything you do for the Lord is worth it. Speak His Holy Word…for It will never return void.

The Question !!

When is the last time you quoted Scripture out loud? How about in response to someone’s question or outburst?

When was the last time you felt like giving up? How did you handle it?
It's so good to be reminded that we are ALL doing the Lord's work. Frequently Jerry's WOTD is just what I needed to hear at that moment from scripture. Thanks Jerry for your ministry and thanks God for using Jerry!
