Genesis 45:1-28; Psalms 23:1-24:10; Matthew 26:1-30

I am of Paul; and I of Apollos. 1 Corinthians 1:12

We all have our favourite writers and preachers. But that is not the issue here. Rather, it is putting such individuals above the Lord. Some Corinthians followed Paul, others Apollos, still others Peter. These men certainly weren’t seeking this adoration. But, no doubt each so-called party led to factions within the local Church, not a good practice under any condition. There are many people who have equipped and encouraged us, but we are not to follow them. We are to follow their Master, who is also our Master. —N. C. Funston

He is exalted, the King is exalted on high;
I will praise Him. He is exalted, forever exalted, and I will praise His Name! —Twila Paris
