  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Hi Folks,

Am at somewhat of a crossroads in my life.  Have a good opportunity to go into business with an Uncle, or mebbe totally ditch that idea and go full time study for ministry. I'm wondering should I work for a while first to secure myself financially, or trust in God that our needs will be met.  Anyone have a word?

Thanks...

PS:  Me going into ministry now is financially possible.

Seek God, and he will give you the answer about what you should do. And when He gives you the answer you will feel a peace that comes from God himself and you will have no doubts about it. Of course once I get that answer from God and feel that peace it actually moves to me tears. I'll be praying for you. :pray:

In Christ,
Anna

P.S. When I went to vote on this I accidently put "business first" I meant to put "God First" Sorry!!

I agree with the others that you should pray and seek God's will.  If you feel very strongly called to minister, then that will be your answer.  If not, then maybe you should do the business first.

If you are worried about finances...as in having a nest egg for the future...but still feel very called, then I'd say God is pulling you toward the ministery.  He does provide for our needs.

Hard one for me to "give advice", as I'm not inside your head.  I will pray for you.
