Bible Question: I attend a church where I feel called to, my pastor believes that if I want to serve I should do it at the church where I am called. I also attend another bible study outside of my home church where I am being pressured to be officially on leadership. there seems to be some conflict here, does anyone have scriptural advise for me? |
Bible Answer: Deuteronomy 22:9-10 Thou shalt not sow thy vineyard with divers seeds: lest the fruit of thy seed which thou hast sown, and the fruit of thy vineyard, be defiled. Thou shalt not plow with an ox and an ass together. 22:9 different kinds of seed. The aim of the legislation seems to be to maintain healthy crops by keeping the seeds separate from one another. See note on Lev. 19:19. 22:10 an ox and a donkey together. According to the dietary laws prescribed earlier (14:1–8), the ox was a “clean” animal, but the donkey was “unclean.” Even more compelling was the fact that these two different animals couldn’t together plow a straight furrow. Their temperaments, natural instincts, and physical characteristics made it impossible. As with the seed (v. 9), God is protecting his people’s food. John F. MacArthur, Jr., The MacArthur Study Bible, (Dallas: Word Publishing) 1997. Praise the Lord! Norm |
