Thirsting Souls Bible Teaching

(1Ti 3:13)  “For they that have used the office of a deacon well purchase to themselves a good degree, and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.”  The idea here is that one who qualifies for and serves in such a capacity has earned a place of respect to be used in the furtherance of the faith – influencing others. Service to and in the Lord, is always others, not self. We are to spend and be spent in the service of our God and Savior, Jesus Christ.
