Quote Worthy

"Every believer is in full-time Ministry. Only a few have pulpits in sanctuaries. The rest have their pulpit in their areas of expertise and favor in the worlds system. Be sure to preach only the good news! And when necessary, use words!"
Bill Johnson (taken from the book: Dreaming with God)

Love, love, love that quote. I recently felt led to change my profile on my blog because I HAD said my hubby and I were in ministry, but I have come to realize that EVERYONE is in ministry. We have the opportunity to be Jesus to everyone we intereact with everywhere we go. Thanks for the reminder.

YES!
And it is the job of the 5 fold governmental (apostle, prophet, pastor, teacher, evangelist) to equip (Father, Mother, restore, equip, release) the saints to do the work of the ministry.

I am sure you have all heard the saying "you may be the only bible people read". I try to live up to that everyday. Choosing my actions as well as my words takes practice and deliberate action.
