to The Josh Link.

Many years ago, I asked the Lord about my specific function in the Body of Christ. I was told that I would be a joint (link). The Biblical text given to me was Ephesians 4:11-16:

And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets,
some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers,
for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry,
for the edifying of the body of Christ,
till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God,
to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ;
that we should no longer be children,
tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine,
by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting,
but, speaking the truth in love,
may grow up in all things into Him Who is the Head-- Christ--
from whom the whole body,
joined and knit together by what every joint supplies,
according to the effective working by which every part does its share,
causes growth of the Body for the edifying of itself in love.

Just as there are many apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers, there will be many joints or links. I am just one of them. As such, I have chosen to call my website "thejoshlink."

I am a joint, not a string. We are all eagles, once unclean but now cleaned by the blood of Christ - once a sinner but now a saint. As eagles, we need no strings attached, to hold us down or to tie others up. But as eagles, we need to stay LINKED to other eagles, for healthy relationships to be built up and for effective communication to flow.

I earnestly hope that through this website, we are able to communicate the love of God in His power and riches and wisdom, and strength and honour and glory and blessing (Rev 5:12).

Shalom,
