Mark

Another quick thought to add.

In 1 Tim 3 Paul exhorts that people ‘desire’ to do the work of an overseer (not a gift).

But also after talking about ‘gifts’ in 1 Cor 12 again Paul says to ‘desire’ the higher gifts (1 Cor 12:31)

Is there a connection here? I dunno? But i love the way the bible challenges and teaches new things everyday (even if that teaching is that i am way off 🙂 )
