The Importance of Tasks in Faith: Apollos, Paul, and You

1-minute read Monday’s Verse, 3/3/25

“What, after all, is Apollos?Β And what is Paul? Only servants,Β through whom you came to believeβ€”as the Lord has assigned to each his task.Β I planted the seed,Β Apollos watered it, but God has been making it grow.Β So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow.Β The one who plants and the one who waters have one purpose, and they will each be rewarded according to their own labor.” 1 Corinthians 3:5-8 NIV

Comments: Each of us has been given a task, a part to play in God’s plan. But it is God who makes the seeds we plant grow.

Quote of the Week, 2/26/25

You can be Jewish and have no connection with Christians, but I can’t be Christian and not be completely connected to the Jewish people. Our entire faith is built on the foundation of Judaism and the Scriptures. We are people of the book and in Genesis it says that God blesses those who bless Israel and curses those who curse Israel.”

Mike Huckabee, designated Ambassador to Israel

Would You Lay Down Your Life for a Friend?

The Hiding Place, by Corrie ten Boom, greatly impacted my life. If you haven’t read it, you must obtain a copy for your library and read about how she showed God’s love for others by hiding Jews in her home during WWII. Here is a passage from the book.

"Would you be willing to take a Jewish mother and her baby into your home?"

Color drained from the man's face. He took a step back from me. "Miss ten Boom! I do hope you're not involved with any of this illegal concealment ... It's just not safe! Think of your father!"

I pulled the coverlet back from the baby's face. The man bent forward, his hand in spite of himself reaching for the tiny fist curled around the blanket. For a moment I saw compassion and fear struggle in his face. Then he straightened. "No. Definitely not. We could lose our lives for that Jewish child!"

Unseen by either of us, Father had appeared in the doorway. "Give the child to me, Corrie," he said.

Father held the baby close, his white beard brushing its cheek, looking into the little face with eyes as blue and innocent as the baby's ... "You say we could lose our lives for this child. I would consider that the greatest honor that could come to my family."

What makes someone literally risk their life for another like Corrie, her sister Betsy, and their father did? All three of them were eventually caught and taken to a prison camp by the Gestapo where Corrie’s father died. Corrie and her sister were eventually taken to Ravensbruck Concentration Camp where Betsy died from maltreatment.

The terrorist attack on Israel on October 7 was the most shocking example of anti-semitism since the Holocaust. Today, anti-semitism is worse than it’s ever been since Hitler’s reign of terror. What will happen next? What will Christians be willing to do? What would you be willing to do?

Jesus said, β€œGreater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” John 15:13
