How beautiful are the feet of those who preach good news! (Romans 10:15b).
Today is St. Patrick's day--I hope you have your green on!
The dates of Patrick's birth and death are not known with certainty, but they fall roughly between 385 and 461. Patrick was taken as a slave, while still a boy, to Ireland. He managed to escape and return to his home land, but he felt the call of God to return to Ireland with the gospel. He was about forty years old when he did actually return. Patrick was not particularly talented as a teacher or a preacher, but the impact of the good news on Ireland was not lost. Almost single-handedly, Patrick brought literacy and Faith to a nation. Hopefully, the Irish will not throw away their most important heritage!
See what one person can do?!?
Grace&Peace,
Tom
