to serve or not to serve, that is the question!

EVERY MINISTRY IN THE BODY OF MESSIAH IS IMPORTANT! JUST LOOK AT THESE VERSES:

1Co 12:12 Even as the body is one, and has many members, but all the members of the one body, being many, are one body, so also is Messiah.

1Co 12:13 For also we all were baptized by one Spirit into one body, whether Jews or Arameans, whether slaves or free, even all were given to drink into one Spirit.

1Co 12:14 For also the body is not one member, but many.
1Co 12:15 If the foot says, Because I am not a hand, I am not of the body, on account of this, is it not of the body?
1Co 12:16 And if the ear says, Because I am not an eye, I am not of the body, on account of this, is it not of the body?
1Co 12:17 If all the body were an eye, where would be the hearing? If all hearing, where would the smelling be?
1Co 12:18 But now YAHWEH set the members, each one of them, in the body, even as it has pleased Him.
1Co 12:19 But if all was one member, where would the body be?
1Co 12:20 But now, indeed, many are the members, but one body.
1Co 12:21 And the eye is not able to say to the hand, I have no need of you; or again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.
1Co 12:22 But much rather the members of the body seeming to be weaker are necessary.
1Co 12:23 And those of the body we think to be less honorable, to these we put more abundant honor around them. And our uncomely members we dress with greater care.
1Co 12:24 But our comely parts have no need for attention. But YAHWEH tempered the body together, giving more abundant honor to the member having need,
1Co 12:25 that there not be division in the body, but that the members might have the same care for one another.
1Co 12:26 And if one member is in pain, all the members suffer with it. If one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.

Isa 61:2 to proclaim the acceptable year of YAHWEH (The Jubilee), and the day of vengeance of our Elohim (The day of Yahweh); to comfort all who mourn;

Isa 61:3 to appoint to those who mourn in Zion, to give them beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, the mantle of praise instead of the spirit of infirmity, so that one calls them trees of righteousness, the planting of YAHWEH, in order to beautify Himself.
