A human ministry subject to human fears and discouragements


1 Corinthians 2:3

 I came to you in weakness and fear, and with much trembling.

2 Corinthians 11:3

 But I am afraid that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent's cunning, your minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ.

Philippians 2:12  

Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed—not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence—continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling,

2 Timothy 1:15  

You know that everyone in the province of Asia has deserted me, including Phygelus and Hermogenes.

2 Timothy 4:10  

For Demas, because he loved this world, has deserted me and has gone to Thessalonica. Crescens has gone to Galatia, and Titus to Dalmatia.

2 Timothy 4:16  

At my first defense, no one came to my support, but everyone deserted me. May it not be held against them.

Using the Common

 “When Moses reached out and took hold of the snake, it again became a stick in his hand.” 

Exodus 4:4

Just as Moses’ hand touched the squirmy scales of the snake, it hardened. And Moses lifted up the rod . . . The same rod he would lift up to divide the water and guide two million people through a desert. The rod that would remind Moses that if God can make a stick become a snake, then become a stick again—then perhaps he can do something with stubborn hearts and a stiff-necked people.

Perhaps be he can do something with the common. - Max Lucado
