"The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, 'behold, a gluttonous man and a drunkard, a friend of tax-gatherers and sinners!' Yet wisdom is vindicated by her deeds." - Jesus Christ - Matt 11:19 Vindicated? Hmmm. "Therefore, I exhort the ELDERS among you, as your fellow-elder and witness of the sufferings of Christ, and a partaker also of the glory that is to be revealed, shepherd the flock of God AMONG YOU (not beneath you!), not under compulsion, but voluntarily, according to the will of God; and not for sordid gain, but with eagerness; NOR AS YET LORDING IT OVER THOSE alotted to your charge, but proving to be examples to the flock." 1 Peter 5:1-3. Tim, you're on the right track. Stand fast in the liberty for which we have been made free. Steve http://fromthepew.blogspot.com/
