Question #3

The Bible Baptist Church of Plant City Florida has a ministerial questionnaire. Every church member ought to be able to answer it. "Question" #3 is: "Tell us about your call to preach".
In this lesson, Pastor Hille notes that there are many calls in the Bible. There is the outward call, the inward or effectual call to salvation, there is the call to serve the Lord in and through His church (which does always accompany the effectual call), one day there will be the call up (Rev.4:1--"Come up Hither"). But there are those of whom God calls into the ministry.
Pastor Hille notes, that it is God who does the calling, He calls by His word, that those whom He's called He gives a ministry and they are to fulfill it, that those who are called are all called equally. We do pray that this message will greatly benefit our understanding of God's Word, His callings, particularly that of the ministry.
