The One Year Bible - Day 228

10% were chosen by sacred lots to relocate to Jerusalem. This is interesting because it makes me wonder what it means to set aside a part of our church to be dedicated to spiritual things. I am not a big fan of paid pastors in general but in our church we do have people, often retired, who have more time to dedicate to pray, visit other churches and generally give us as a body a much more in-tune view of what God is doing. In some churches there will be no such people in which case the leader or leaders have all responsibility to decide what is right. This is tiresome at best and at worst means we become disconnected. Always look to identify and encourage those people who work extra for the kingdom.
