Thanks, T. But how about this: Hosea was called to be a prophet, but he sure had a problem with Gomer, his wife, who BTW was hand picked to be his wife by God. She certainly did not share his ministry. Ministers and their spouses do not necessarily have to share the same calling. Its better when they agree, of course, but it is not a biblical requirement (if Hosea and Gomer are any example).TSIBHOD said:Well, the point that I was making was that when the Scripture talks of not being "unequally yoked," it might be speaking of ministry in the sense of, "Either you are both called to some sort of Christian ministry, or neither of you are." In other words, there are two grouping of callings being spoken of: ministerial or non-ministerial.
I don't say that this is the standard, I just present it as a possibility. I am merely championing the less accepted cause for the sake of argument. I don't really know what to think on this matter. I can see that what you are saying makes sense, Jim, and I can also see that it makes sense to have pastors and their wives serving together as teams.
