The accents in the House of the Lord are unique, diverse and
interesting to say the least. Like the elements that go into a
well designed home, His hand selects each piece and assigns
a place for it according to His plan and purpose. Whether it’s
made from wood, stone, or fragile as a flower, no material is
over looked or considered useless. Colors of all sorts are
incorporated into the mix. Though a few larger and weightier
pieces are used to anchor an area, He sets in numerous kinds
of accent pieces to add contrast, interest, style and flair. An
accent piece chosen by God for placement in His house is
precious and outstanding.
Every assignment is important in the House of the Lord. A
formal title is not necessary. Having the spotlight or a name in
neon lights is not required. Greeters, ushers, and helpers of
all kinds are vital to the function of the house and to one
another.
No accent or assignment is insignificant, for its reward comes
from Him.
I’m grateful just to be chosen as an accent.

to be more feeble, are necessary:
23. And those members of the body, which we think to be less
honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour; and
our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness.
24. For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered
the body together, having given more abundant honour to that
part which lacked:
25. That there should be no schism in the body; but that the
members should have the same care one for another.
26. And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with
it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it.

28. And God hath set some in the church, first apostles,
secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then
gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.

workers of miracles?
30. Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do
all interpret?

more excellent way.
