Today we dig into the first 11 verses of 1 Corinthians chapter 9 and are  met with a bit of a rant from the Apostle Paul, but not without great  meaning or good measure! Often, as the Apostle brings out here,  ministers are used up and abused till they are worn out. Then they leave  on ministry being broken in heart only to enter another (for this is  what they must do! This is their life) work where they are once again  used up for what they're worth and then tossed aside for  someone/something newer! Needless to say, Paul is not one to simply lay  down and be made a place-mat in front of the door, and so he speaks his  mind in this place, but what he is speaking is truth (which may cause  the offenders to be offended!). So, hang on tight as we get into this  heavy chapter today with Pastor J!!!
