Dear brother or sister in the Lord
Having retired I have been seeking direction from God as to how to use my time, abilities and resources to His glory, whilst recognising limitations, both physical and above all spiritual.
As some may know I have done some translation work on JND’s letters, so his ministry has been opened up to me more freshly. For many years I had regarded it as beyond me in many ways, and I would still say that it is as Peter said of Paul ‘hard to be understood’.
If that is true of me, what of my fellow believers, most of whom have not enjoyed the privileges I have had of being under teaching, and able to participate in reading meetings where this ministry, and that of others, were valued and generally felt to be of the Spirit of God.
I am therefore seeking, with God’s help to produce some simplified summaries of helpful articles, papers and ministry, presented in a way that is more intelligible to Christians in the 21st century, and accessible using current technology, and above all free of sectarianism, the ministry being for the whole Church of God. I seek humbly to keep to the essential message, and cover it adequately without introducing my own ideas and thoughts. The site is in its early stages www.adayofsmallthings.com. Please have a look at it.
In order not to draw attention to myself, I am using a pseudonym, Sosthenes (he just wanted to be a brother). Sosthenes Hoadelphos on Facebook; @BroSosthenes on Twitter.
The ministry itself, of course, is not infallible: and my simplified summaries are certainly not. Without getting into arguments I would value the comments as to content or style by any who feel I have not explained things well, or have missed the point. Let the righteous smite me; it shall be a kindness Psalm 141:5.
I look forward to your comments, either by e-mail (Sosthenes@adoss.co.uk) or by making comments on the site.
With love and greetings in Christ.
Your brother
