Chris.
Living
and serving wholly for the Lord is the calling of some people. This is a
Biblical concept and we should be able to adapt our opinions and Churches to
this. If God’s Servants who have responsibility to care for His Flock and to
Teach His Word are not able to be fully living and serving wholly for the Lord
then obviously the Ministry of the Local Church and to the Body of Christ is
going to suffer.
