What is my call to Ministry?
Seriously, I don’t know. I haven’t aspired to be some big time preacher that people come from all around the world just to hear me speak. If that is God’s will for me, then so be it. I would prefer something on a much smaller scale. But before I go into what I prefer, let me start with what I know what God has already given me for my ministry:

I would prefer something on a much smaller scale. But before I go into what I prefer, let me start with what I know what God has already given me for my ministry:
- To lead my wife and make her radiant.
- To raise up my son in the LORD and to not exasperate him.
I have found that I do well in large and small groups; again, I prefer the smaller groups. I helped out on Thursday with the poor and homeless which really helped my heart. It really showed me that even though I don’t have much, I have a tremendous amount that God has blessed me with and that I need to share it more with others. My ministry is to lead my family to make sure that they understand these things. Throughout the year, we receive gifts from God, people fight for toys and game systems, but who is fighting for the homeless?
1st Timothy 6:3-10
If anyone teaches false doctrines and does not agree to the sound instruction of our Lord Jesus Christ and to godly teaching, he is conceited and understands nothing. He has an unhealthy interest in controversies and quarrels about words that result in envy, strife, malicious talk, evil suspicions and constant friction between men of corrupt mind, who have been robbed of the truth and who think that godliness is a means to financial gain.
But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that. People who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge men into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.
Do you want more than food and clothes? Then maybe that is a problem for you… The Bible says that the love of money is the root of ALL KINDS OF EVIL. And because of it, it pulls people away from God and into worldly possessions. My call to the ministry is to keep my family focused on God in a nation where churches are beginning to close down one after another as America begins to shut its doors on God and open it’s doors to with welcome arms to sin. I would much rather be “barely making it” and be right with God than have a full bank account and have a household on fire.
