"I Am a Debtor..."

“I have an obligation to those who are civilized and those who aren’t, to those who are wise and those who aren’t.” Romans 1:14 (GWT)

"I am a debtor..." Romans 1:14a (NKJV)

The Living Bible is my favorite rendering of Romansv1:14 -- "I owe a great debt to you and everyone else..."

20 years ago, I told the congregation As your pastor, there are some things I owe you:

1. To be a godly man

2. To be a man of prayer

3. To be a role model

4. To be a good steward

5. To love you

Today, we celebrated 20 years as pastor and people, so I echoed these five debts of love that I owe, again.
