Thank you, gentlemen.<BR/><BR/>I'm overjoyed to know, according to Ben, that elders who serve in a local congregation are to have their oinos supplied by that congregation. I intend to pass this information on to the ekklesia of which I'm a member. ;o)<BR/><BR/>I'm also indebted to Frank for pointing out that "worship service" is never mentioned in the NT...I'll take that as justification for never again having to sit through another long sermon or warbling songfest ;o)<BR/><BR/><BR/>TomVolkmarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06602468335600046640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11840313.post-2681379654196076872008-09-16T16:01:00.000-07:002008-09-16T16:01:00.000-07:00Frank,This was really good and really helpful.

I've alerted Ben about this just now (4pm EST on Friday)so hopefully it will be fixed shortly. The printed word, especially on the Net, is such a stale medium. A statement made in humor without a (smile) after it can be read to have the opposite meaning. I hope this will be fixed soon. Until then, please read with this in mind.frankaviolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17848648086152568614noreply@blogger.com
