The house of Stephanas . . . they have addicted themselves to the ministry of the saints.
This is a wonderful addiction to have - to minister to the saints. Here we have a whole family that spent their energy in serving other Christians. Don’t feel that work for the Lord is always done by individuals. No, there’s a special happiness and blessing when a family can all work together for the Lord - each doing his part and all working as a team. Perhaps your family can be like Stephanas’. A billboard near us reads, “The family that prays together stays together.” There’s also a special bond that holds a family together when they can work together in the Lord’s work.
