What a time to be alive!

1 Corinthians 9:22I have become all

things to all men so that by all possible means I might save

some.

Luke 5:36-38 (NIV) 36 He told them this parable: “No one tears a patch from a new garment and sews it on an old one. If he does, he will have torn the new garment, and the patch from the new will not match the old.

37 And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. If he does, the new wine will burst the skins, the wine will run out and the wineskins will be ruined. No, new

wine must be poured into new wineskins.”

It is the responsibility of

every generation to pour the gospel into

new wineskins.

Jesus carpenter/ technology guy

• τέκτων, ονος m: one who uses various materials (wood, stone, and metal) in building—‘builder, carpenter.’ οὐχ οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ τοῦ τέκτονος υἱός; ‘isn’t he the carpenter’s son?’ Mt 13:55. There is every reason to believe that in biblical times one who was regarded as a τέκτων would be skilled in the use of wood and stone and possibly even metal.
