the call to be a preacher of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Just to the left of my desk in my study I have a list of seven questions that keep me accountable. At the top of the list it reads: Questions to ask myself daily as I am in vocational ministry. Here are the seven questions:

1. Do I have a love for God's Word?

2. Am I willing to make the study of it, and the application of it, my life's pursuit?

3. Will I cultivate intimacy with God through prayer?

4. Am I willing to part with all sins for His sake?

5. Will I obey His voice, no matter what He asks?

6. Do I know the Lord Jesus well?

7. How much of my Christian life is really centered on Him?


I looked that over again last night and this morning and prayed for God's abundant help (cf. Eph 3:20-21). Soli Deo Gloria.
