Hi EdB. I know you were addressing Schmythe in this note, but after reading his comment, I couldn't wait to see yours, for his desire for the pastorate reflects mine. In my mind and heart, I know it's no piece of cake. I know I'm not ready. I'm not even sure it's the Lords will for me. I have already wasted nearly half a century of my life. I have determined to dedicate the remainder of my life to the service of the Lord, in whatever capacity He decides. "Not mine, but Thy will be done." In having come to this determination, I have applied myself to reading, studying and “learning” The Word in it’s unleavened purity. I’m in the process of getting set up to get a degree in theology, or something of the sort through a previous church of ours in Ala. If you have read many of my posts, you should know me fairly well, to a point at least. I have come to respect and admire your opinion, and I would sincerely appreciate any comments, constructive criticism and advice you are willing to provide. Thanks George |

George As I told Schmythe if there is anything else in the world you can do other than pastoring then do it! I would not even consider it until I was sure, that I was sure, that I was sure God was calling me into ministry. Once again it is not a job, a profession, nor a career. It is a lifestyle that you and your spouse must be willing to sacrifice to live. Continue with your studies, there is always a need to people that have studied the Word. Perhaps your call is not to pastor a church, but serve in a parachurch ministry, or as a chaplain, perhaps a teacher, or as an Aaron to your Pastor, holding his arms up. If I can help let me know EdB |
