Any kind of service that we do for the Lord in natural or temporal things can be included in this (Matt. 10:41-42; Acts 13:5; 1 Tim. 3:10). (“Lecture 11: The Head of the Corner” by W. Reid)
• "Teaching" has to do with expounding Scripture in its proper scope and meaning. (“Lecture 11: The Head of the Corner” by W. Reid)
