Description
  • Wheeler preaches on the call to serve God, whether in full-time ministry or as a layperson. 1 Timothy 3:1 reveals that the call to ministry is a noble and good task. Contrasted with this passage, James 3:1, 1 Timothy 5:22, and Hebrews 13:17 provides careful warning towards the cost and requirement of service in ministry. Wheeler encourages everyone, whether they are in full-time ministry or not, to consider themselves involved in the task of ministry. Luke 9:23 describes the total sacrifice of following Christ. Luke 14:25 further outlines the cost of being a Christian. Paul in 2 Corinthians 5:11-17 writes about the transformation that influenced all aspects of his life. No matter where one works, they can fully serve God no matter the career. Based on Proverbs 30:24-28, Wheeler encourages secular-career workers to use their unique contexts for ministry opportunities. 1 Peter 5 reveals that the Christian who desires to become a full-time ministry worker must have a strong desire to serve. To become a pastor, the individual must be gifted in the skill to teach and to have a love for people. Personality must be considered for capability to serve in ministry. For example, the minister must be willing to be tough. A full-time worker must be disciplined in service. For married individuals, the spouse must be suitably equipped for ministry. Finally, ministry must be considered based on life circumstances and situations. To work out such a decision for life career, it must be worked out in prayer and fellowship. For potential ministers, practical experience may guide them. For all individuals, training should be conducted to be equipped for ministry.
