Treading Out the Grain
The Apostle Paul reminds us of the law of Moses, "You shall not muzzle an ox when it is treading out the grain," in his first letter to the Corinthians and reminds them, "the Lord commanded that those who proclaim the gospel should get their living by the gospel."
Who doesn't love a good deal? But is anything of value truly free? The Apostle Paul reminds us of the law of Moses, "You shall not muzzle an ox when it is treading out the grain." St. Paul continues to teach in the first letter to the Corinthians in the same way, "the Lord commanded that those who proclaim the gospel should get their living by the gospel." While the Lord provides the gospel free of charge, it comes with a charge. Roll up your sleeves, there's work to be done treading out the grain.
