Stan Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 “But you are ... a royal priesthood" (1 Peter 2:9). “It’s an amazing thing! And I just put it plainly: When you read that passage in its context, you have to get off dead center and recognize that when you accept Jesus as your Savior you’ve just signed on to become a minister of the Most High God! And this superficial, foolish understanding that men have developed over time that somehow there is a separation between clergy and laity is exceedingly unfortunate because the reality is, when you accept Jesus, you are a minister. You are a priest. And the role of the pastor – and I’m not downplaying that at all – is to train the ministers.” – NAD President Dan Jackson at the NAD Staff Worship, April 3, 2013.

Administrators Gail Posted April 10, 2013 Administrators Share Posted April 10, 2013 Not only that, but of royal blood. There is a certain dignity that comes with that knowledge- a willingness to reach out and touch one's subjects (Christ's subjects) and a willingness to suffer in dignity for Christ's sake. Yep- it's BIG Quote Isaiah 32:17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.

Administrators debbym Posted April 10, 2013 Administrators Share Posted April 10, 2013 the priesthood of all believers is his Word to us, and His Divine plan. I so totally agree. Every person that Knows God is teaching and modeling everything they know with every breath. and sometimes teaching through the Word. Quote deb Love awakens love.

That's at least an indication of the "one accord" developing in us "children of the King". God cares! Quote Lift Jesus up!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobRyan Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 “But you are ... a royal priesthood" (1 Peter 2:9). “It’s an amazing thing!

This is a very important point and all need to take it to heart - especially after that survey report about SDAs that leave the church pointing to their own doctrinal confusion as the most common reason for leaving. We need to do a better job of "informing the ministers" as it were. in Christ, Bob Quote John 8:32 - The Truth will make you free“The righteousness of Christ will not cover one cherished sin."
