It must have been more than 20 years ago that I got an invitation to attend a small meeting in Anaheim, California. This meeting was a very special meeting of all the most holy men in the world who found it became fashionable to call themselves “Apostles”, so they called the meeting “The Apostles Gathering”. I did not call myself an Apostle, I made that clear, but I have angered quite a few religious men in my life telling them this, I thought my calling was to one day fill the shoes of an Apostle. Well I have gotten wiser, so today I call myself a brother, a follower of Jesus, a servant of the Lord, a spiritual man, but I no longer tell folks that I will be an Apostle at a future date. See the distinction between the two?
