Together you are heirs of the grace of God. Where the ministry is ded icated to the proclamation of Christ and Him crucified, buried, risen and coming again, there should be faithfulness in attendance as well as stewardship. Q. Portland, Ore. "Were fish also destroyed in the flood?" A. There is nothing said about this in the Bible. We could possibly assume that they were not. Genesis 6:7 gives us the condemnation, "The Lord said, I will destroy man whom I have created, from the face of the earth, both man and beast and the creeping things, the fowls of the air, for it repenteth me that I have made them." This describes all types of animal life but does not deal with those creatures who live in the water.
What is the Scriptural relationship between the pastor and church member?" A. Notice how it reads, "Obey them that have the rule over you" (He brews 13:17). This is not the same as those civil rulers mentioned in Romans 13:1. The entire chapter here in Hebrews relates to things of the church. One of the best areas in which this relationship is further seen is in the first two epistles of Paul to Timothy as well as his letter to Titus. The first bond should be one of a Spirit-filled love. The pas tor must see that his people are properly fed the Word of Cod and grow in the Lord through worship, study, prayer, and outreach. The member should honor the minister through obedience as a servant of Cod, representing the Lord. Pay him all due respect because of the office to which Cod has called him.
