Bible Note: David I have had the pleasure of visiting your web site. Each person serves God in his own way. At times, that way may not be fully understood or appreciated by others and it is important that we not allow pride to get in the way of our service to God. Remember, when we serve God, we are doing so to please only God - you do not need mans approval to serve God. Your service to God with your web site is valuable to many men, and its value will continue to grow with time. Through your efforts, you are assisting other men in their service to God. Matthew 5:37 is also helpful in your discussions with other people. By the way, on your web site you discussed Luke's Theophilus. Theophilus is a Greek word meaning 'friend of God', the word is used both, as a proper name and as a decription. A friend explained to me that Luke used this word in the broad sense that he was addressing Acts and Luke to 'friends of God' and not a specific person, named 'Theophilus'. Brian |
