Ministers February 18, 2011

Its interesting how much fodder my ordination has provided for my blogging the past couple weeks! This past Sunday I was ordained as a Pastor. To be called Pastor, to have the title Reverend are very new things to me and have been more awkward than anything else. There are many reasons for this, but one of those reasons is deeply theological for me.

 

We are all ministers.

 

Regardless of title, status, place of employment, role, or even our own sin; we are all ministers. Jesus Christ has called each of us to be a part of His kingdom and to be a part of bringing about that kingdom in our world today. That work requires ministers. We are all ministers. We have all been given gifts to be used to help draw people into a deeper relationship with God. We have all been given the call to serve and to love.

 

We are all ministers.

 

Please don’t forget that. How can you be an answer to someone’s prayer this day?

 

We are all ministers.
