“In Bible college, I sometimes heard professors and chapel speakers say that a Christian college was the easiest place to backslide. What they said about Bible college applies as well to the ministry. The emphasis is simply that serving Christ cannot be a substitute for fellowship with Christ. Working for Him must never take the place of walking with Him.” – My old Baptist preacher, who would take time to teach at Bible classes at the local Seminary

Indeed, anyone can work FOR God. Pharaoh in Egypt did that when Moses came asking to let His people go? But Moses was striving to work WITH God. It was hard for him, especially at the first, but he did succeed because he was willing and one thing that God wants from each of us is a willing heart.

I didn’t face this in college, but I certainly did in ministry. After two attempts, i recognized I am called to volunteer, but not be apart of professional ministry.
