Exalt Christ Not Man

Paul was a very practical teacher. He clearly describes how the minister is to be viewed by others as merely a man and that man is nothing apart from Christ. He also showed that the Apostles worked with their hands and at times were close to being destitute of daily provisions. What a contrast to ministers today. I recently viewed a video when Pope Benedict visited the United States where the leaders from Missouri Synod Lutheran, Leaders from the Presbyterian Churches, Reformed Churches, Pentecostal Churches, United Methodist Churches and many, many more went up and exalted the Pope. God help us to take a stand against this spirit of Anti-Christ where men are exalting other men.
