So the question remains are people still set apart to write, carry a message, lay foundations for works yet to be seen. what about returning to the places the first apostles laid foundations that are now long destroyed and laid waste in town and cities where it is a death sentence to be an apostle (one set aside for Christ work). are we so arrogant that we think we can define and limit God's call to what fits in the 4 walls of the church? |
