Realize God's Call

10/25/2018

I recently attended a meeting in our United Methodist Conference that credentials the ordination of pastors.  We discussed the need for people to realize God's call upon their lives, whether it is a call to be a pastor or committed to a ministry both within and outside of the church.  The Protestant Reformers of the 16th century espoused the idea of the "priesthood of all believers."  That is, God has called every person to be in ministry, not just pastors.  This concept is taken from scripture texts such as Romans 12 and I Corinthians 12, that speaks of the gifts of the Holy Spirit given to each person to edify the church, to lift up other people.

Martin Luther, one of the Protestant Reformers, once said, "The Christian shoemaker does his duty not by putting little crosses on the shoes, but by making good shoes, because God is interested in good craftmanship."  God has given each one of us certain gifts, talents and interests, so that we may share them with the world and make the world a better place.  I encourage us all to listen to God's call on our lives and to fearlessly follow it.
