And seems that they want to delegate their responsibilities to the minister.<br /><br />Maybe that's why, they get overwhelmed so the preacher ought to do it, after all that's what we pay him for, right?<br /><br />Well, maybe if you can find your answer, preacher's might be able to do more of the work they are gifted for?<br /><br />The answer is in the Bible. Maybe how the 12 tribes first dealt with this issue?Jon Lanierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00990445529878474964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13345573.post-88172107041305698232009-06-13T12:54:55.260-04:002009-06-13T12:54:55.260-04:00Anon,
