Keep the main thing, the main thing 

Festus didn’t know what to do with Paul, purported by the Jews be a pestilent fellow.   What really stirred them was Paul’s belief in the resurrection.   Festus, trying to explain the situation to King Agrippa declares “their accusation turned out to be nothing more than arguments about ….a dead man named Jesus, who the prison claimed was alive (Acts 25:19 MSG).   When everything else is said and done, are WE still that clear about our message?   No matter the specific ministry that we have, our priority MUST remain crystal clear.   We bring the hope of the resurrection to a world that has none.   Dear colleague, I encourage to stay energized in your ministry while rooting that ministry in Jesus’ resurrection.    “Christ has been raised from the dead.  He is the first of a great harvest of all who have died. “   1 Corinthians 15:20 NLT
