We do not choose to be in ministry. It chooses us. Rather, God chooses us for this purpose. He calls some to serve as pastors, teachers, and shepherds of his people. Others he calls as counselors, others as missionaries. Many others serve in a multitude of callings, whether these are officially termed “ministry� or not. And the ways in which God shapes and molds those he calls for the purposes to which he calls them are just as different as each of the people involved. The Lord loves diversity; after all, he invented the idea. WWW.COVENANTSEMINARY.EDU
