Called to Minister


If you don’t feel called to be a minister and you’re wondering if your life counts for Christ—it does! And you don’t have to put a collar around your neck, eat at every potluck that comes around, or preach long sermons to prove it!

According to Paul, ministers proclaim the gospel everywhere they go; they testify to God’s work in their lives.When you arrive in heaven, I wonder if Christ might say to you, “I’m so proud you let me use you. Because of you, others are here today. Wanna meet’em?” Neighbors, co-workers, friends, strangers, parents, spouse, children, grandchildren—all step forward! Even great-grandchildren, ones you never met are there because you ministered to your kids and to your grandchildren.

Are you a minister? You bet! Can you make a difference? Absolutely.

“I myself am convinced, my brothers and sisters, that you yourselves are full of goodness, filled with knowledge and competent to instruct one another.” (Romans 15:14)
