Thirsting Souls Bible Teaching

(1Ti 1:12)  “And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry;”  Ministers are people. They can be lifted up with pride. It is a great danger as people praise you for your leadership, or preaching and teaching ability, or personality. What we forget, is that the Lord has “enabled” us, giving us the means both physically and spiritually, to carry out His ministry. Instead of glorying, we should be humbled. Give the Lord the praise!
