Chapter 2: Chapter 2

“Everything is just fine, Bob. God be praised. I am completely healed of all sinful entrapment of the flesh." Randal wished he were in a position to cross his fingers without being observed.

“Praise the Lord."

“Yes, praise the Lord.”

“Then, Randal, you feel you are strong in the Lord? Able to resist any temptation that may come your way?”

“Yes.”

Randal hoped it was so.

“Then we, that is Ralph, the other pastoral leaders and I, have decided it is time you be given a ministry.”

Randal was dumbfounded. Only those who were truly proven to be strong in the Spirit were trusted to be given a ministry. He was both apprehensive and proud.
