(this is IRL-in real life; this forum is one of only 2 "christian" forums that I have seen such love...I have been on several)
Ephesians 4:11-13
And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
You mentioned:
Luke Ch 17:9 Does he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I think not. 10 So likewise you, when you have done all those things which you are commanded, say, ‘We are unprofitable servants. We have done what was our duty to do.’”
I have felt that this has been my LIFE VERSE for the past several years...
I am being held accountable to this scripture by the Holy Spirit. Thanks for bringing that scripture up; I am studying it and would like to "dig deeper" with it.

Oooh, great verses in Ephesians, worshipper! Love it!! Very pertinent and powerful stuff for us all.
And I also LOVE you having Jesus' strong statements in the Luke verses to use to be accountable to the Lord. Wow, way to go!!!
