Bible Note: Bradk I agree one does not have to be a seminary student to minister, in fact education does not make a minister, a calling does. However once a call has been answered the person should be a student of the Bible and should try to get as much education as is available to them. This is where a problem begins in many preachers lives, they reach a point and stop learning. Life and ministery is a day to day learning experience. Many will say I'm being taught of the Holy Spirit and that is good, but nothing replaces the self discipline that is required and therefore learned in a formal education. That discipline quickly becomes evident in their life, their ministry, and their relationship with others. EdB |
