I have always been touched by the power of the Last Supper, and much of the understanding of the Seder meal. Thank you for responding to my thought. Blessings in your ministry. <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15696217546823396562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8808494772861258614.post-68592524123557070832014-02-24T07:35:21.839-06:002014-02-24T07:35:21.839-06:00Daniel, this Rev.

I am now fifty years in the Gospel Ministry and am 70 years of age and can still serve (for awhile). Amy, Jim and Debbie remember you all.Your words are true in your article. Satan will us of the small church harder than any others. I have written a book called A Messianic Passover Haggadah - Journey to Seder. This is a good tool for teaching and strengthening your own advancement. Colossians is extremely loaded with preaching subjects. God Bless you and your wife and family. I have been 25 years in my present small church. Your friend and colleague.

May I suggest to you and to your readers the new book, Developing Leadership Teams in the Bivocational Church, published by Crossbooks and also available on Amazon.com. The first half of the book gives a biblical and cultural defense for bivocational ministry (great for giving to people who want the pastor to serve the church full time even though the church doesn't pay enough). The second half of the book contains six easy to use lessons for training lay people to assist the pastor in the ministry so he does not get burned out. God bless you and keep up the great work.<br /><br />Dr. Terry Dorsett, Director<br />Green Mountain Baptist Association<br />www.terrydorsett.comDr. Terry Dorsetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05964444127928103488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8808494772861258614.post-21415641076239636242010-10-09T20:43:03.873-05:002010-10-09T20:43:03.873-05:00I am not the same Daniel.

AND if you are related to the George Elmer Shipton family from La Porte. He was my grandfather's (William Henry Shipton) brother. If so, I would be interested in sharing information.
