Illustration
Ministry is a whole lot more than marriage feasts, covered-dish dinners, and church school picnics. It is often proclaiming the Word to folks who don't really want to hear it, taking a stand contrary to popular opinion, and smarting from being struck on both cheeks! It means eating less of the puffed pastries at the coffee hours and more of the dish Ezekiel was served.
