Tuesday; "Watchman with Conviction"......

In Biblical times, a watchman was someone appointed to stay alert and keep guard over the city. He had 2 main responsivilities: to identify and warn against any danger, and to identify and welcome any friendly traveler approaching the city. The watchman not only guarded the walls and approaches to the city: but also he patrolled the streets to see that all things were safe and secure and that all fires were safely banked or extinguished. How comforting it must have been when a brave and trusted watchman would cry, "It is midnight, and all is well!"

But watchman, what of the ocming night, when mans work will be over? Is everything safe within the city? Are the walls secured? And who is that coming from the East? Are we ready for the midnight cry? "Behold, the bridegroom cometh!" (MAtt. 25:6). Let us awaken and arise to meet Him, for all things are ready!

Monday...What about Priscilla and Aquilla?

The naysayers also draw our attention to the ministry of Priscilla and Aquila, as if the inclusion of the woman with her husband somehow negates the hundred or so doctrinal verses that teach about a womans role as a helper to her husband. On the contrary, although they are about a womans role as a helper to her husband. On the contrary, although they are mentioned five times in the Bible, Priscilla is never mentioned alone. She is always with her husband, as I am with mine. When my husband goes to speak at a seminar on family and child-training issues, they usually advertise us as Michael and Debbie Pearl. He takes the stage and does the teaching, while I sit in the audience to support him. He sometimes calls on me to publicly answer questions about child training or homeschooling, but I never publicly teach doctrine to anyone, men or women. I counsel women and make sure my husband gets plenty of rest, has good food and is able to remember wher he is and what he is to do next. He often asks me my opinion on issues and iIhelp him formulate ideas as we discuss points of concern for the seminar. MY ROLE AS HELPMATE IS A SUPPORT ROLE, as I am sure was the case with Piscilla.....

Love to all....
