John, the question you posed on Jan. 28th has given me pause since I am anxious/nervous about ministering to a gentleman that has joined our breakfast bible study. He is wheelchair bound, and comes from a varied faith background. It is making me step out of my comfort zone. But what is that in service to our Lord and Savior. Your question, "What risks are you taking for God right now? Have you asked Him what risks He would like you to take?" is giving me focus to answer God's call to minister (I'm a Deacon at our church) to where He desires me to go, versus where I WANT to go. Thank you for the insight that helps me be a person SERVING my Lord and His will, rather than myself and mine.
- Mark: Thank you for the affirming words about Connect the Testaments -- much appreciated. (Sorry for the late response by the way -- Lexham Bible Dictionary has kept me very busy in these past months.) May God grant you whatever you stand in need of at this time.
