All things are for a season. Perhaps God is allowing you to look into other ministry efforts for your life as he does with all of us at one point or another. Due to circumstances, seemingly out of his control, Duane has been called to work in Scouting, and it's an open ministry field like any other. He has a desire not only to see boys be their best, but to be a shining example of Christ's love in an environment that doesn't necessarily have that focus, like Rangers does. God has placed Duane & Jen in the spot where they are at because THAT is where God wants them! Nothing better than being in the will of God!
In the last 30 years, I've come, gone, and come again in Rangers. Not always because I'm "on fire" for Rangers like I once was, but because of the need, and a burning desire to win the lost at any cost... occupying my ministry efforts until God opens another door of ministry. Not everyone stays in Rangers, but all who have been Rangers will BE Rangers. Once Rangers is in your blood, it cannot be diluted, though the burden to work as an active member of an outpost may be released by the Lord on you. I would only submit that you first find out what motivates you for service for the Master, and then follow your heart. No problem with switching boats... just don't torpedo the boat your leaving due to a "new paint job" :-) Blessings, Parson. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of CmdrPier Sent: Thursday, September 04, 2003 4:46 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [RR] Whoa Horsey!!
