God wants a bunch of OXEN in His church. Working. Laboring. Eating voraciously. He wants everybody to be using their gifts for His kingdom. Every single person should have an answer to the question: "Where do you serve?"
The relevance of this ancient verse is reinforced by two significant reiterations of it in the New Testament. It is there that the full meaning of our ancient passage is brought forth. It is about more than OXEN. It is about what we owe our pastor/elder. Listen 7 minutes to hear what we owe those who work hard amongst us.
