Bible Question:
IS THERE SCRIPTURE THAT SUPPORTS: IF WE TAKE CARE OF THE SHEPARD OF THE HOUSE, WE WILL BE BLESSED? |
Bible Answer: Hello! Another scripture to look at is 1 Corinthians 9:9-14. Paul draws from Old Testament scripture to support people who earn a living from presenting the Gospel. If we will be blessed is not discussed. But I would think that if scripture supports paying people who work full time in the minstry, I imagine God will bless our obedience in this matter. Hope this helps. In His Grace, Lewis. |
