Bible Question: Having never been "called to preach" I confess total ignorance of what the experience is like. Since some of you are preachers, having answered the call, would any of you like to share with the rest of us what the experience of being called to preach is like? Is it something that occurs in a moment or is it a continuing call that keeps calling until answered? I think your answers would be instructive to members of the forum. I know they would to me. --Hank |
Bible Answer: Greetings Hank! I was saved when I was six years old. My Sunday School teacher led me to Christ. My family to this day are not Christians, so I had no "church" experience. When I got to be about 12 years old, I started feeling God's call on my life. In my case, I would say that the call was a continous call. It didn't occur in just a moment, but over time. In fact, I resisted it for quite awhile. My advice to those who think that God may be calling them is this: 1) Look at your gifts! Do you have gifts that would be useful in the ministry that you feel God is calling you to? 2) Consult with family and friends! Do they think that God could use you? 3) Try to do something else! If you can be happy doing something else, go for it. If God is really calling you, you won't be happy doing anything else. 4) Above all, Pray! Your Brother in Christ! Tim Moran |
