SureWord, Welcome aboard!

We can't allow a person's description of their giving to become a division between brothers. It has to end, eternity is a long time and our Lord won't allow disputes in heaven. So, it is best, I believe to "Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory;" Philippians 2:1-5... Amen?

Yes, as per the KJV as Jim, Mike, and gracelife have attested... the one taught by Jesus Christ... 1 Cor. 15:3-4 and there are witnesses 1 Cor. 15:5-8! Paul tells us he is about to declare it... 1 Cor. 15:1 and that it is the same truth which they received for their salvation.

I wouldn't feel comfortable prioritizing sins.

Mike, I can understand, having had a wife like yours. Please understand I am only offering an alternative for other folks who are called to preach/serve. Folks should understand we may not be called to be a pastor. Evangelism is open to any man called to preach.
