After The Call

About the Book

This book is about the various issues that confront the minister after the Call from God. What are the political imperatives of a person dedicated to upholding the gospel and the ordinances of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ? Some of the issues are theological and some are social and political. For example theologically there are the issues of election and predestination versus free will. And is election fair and what about those who have never heard the Gospel? I discuss social issues like homosexuality in society and in the Church. My concern is how these and other issues affect the minister compared to how they affect the layperson. It is a wondrous and joyful thing to be a minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. But with the call comes great responsibilities. As James says: “My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation.” (James 3:1) So lets think and pray about the challenges we face as we seek to do His will.
