It is my intention and desire that this portion of the immense cyber-blog tome may be used for the profit of all.
The great apostle Paul wrote in 2 Corinthians 4:5-12 about our service lives. We are earthen vessels (ostrakinos-hard baked dirt pots) who have been formed and enlisted by our Potentate Commander to be used as bond servants for the sake of Christ. Servant lambs to the slaughter. Lights on the hill.
We are dispensable terra cotta and fragile and we do not present ourselves to the world; we bring Jesus as Lord and present Him before men. Light has shone out of 
darkness and that Light is in our hearts forever radiating the glory of God in the face of Christ. Our business is the establishing of faith communities where the world can taste the coming consummation.
God has ordained all things to come to pass. Nothing happens outside of His counsel, will, and intention. When He speaks we should listen. Therefore, since the Lord has said that we will be afflicted in every way, perplexed, persecuted, and struck down we should expect it. Yet we have the surpassing greatness of the power of God as well, as a result we are not crushed, we do not despair, we are not forsaken, and we are not destroyed.
The victory of Christ in the world is seen in His people as the church triumphant marches in unity to storm the gates of hell both in greatness and in grief as we seek to rescue souls from torment and death by proclaiming, preaching, and pleading the gospel.
This blog represents that fight.
