NOT SURE
Gal 6:6
6 Anyone who receives instruction in the word must share all good things with his instructor.
NIV
It would seem right to support those who have made the preaching of the gospel their vocation. I do, however, have some problem with the system which now produces job applicants in the ministry. I have to admit I am a bit critical and that may not be right. But then maybe it is not so much critical but rather discernment of this system. I have always thought that when God calls a man to preach the gospel, this man should simply rely on God as men of the New Testament did and speak from their hearts regarding the truth of the sayings of God. But I see today the church has made a business of selling that right to preach to people who are looking for jobs in the ministry rather than in the world. Sure, there may well be many of these people who feel they are called by God; I am not casting any aspersions in their direction at all. I just feel this has become such a farce. Men simply have to buy the right to apply for a position within the church, a license to preach and spend even more money on courses in order to be ordained by the church. Now they can apply for the job and receive a set salary for their efforts of convincing their congregation that tithing is a New Testament principle which needs to be adhered to in obedience to the Word so the church can afford to pay them. It is a system which stinks to high heaven. At least that is how I see it and I do not believe I am ever going to change my thinking. I do not believe this is how God intended it to be. I believe it is right to cheerfully give to those who have given their life to serving others in the instruction of the Word of God. I also believe, if those who have given their live to this task should give it freely not expecting anything in return, nor should they have to pay for that right either. If a man is called by God to be a preacher or teacher of the Word then God will also instruct him as to what to how and what to preach and teach. That is one of the gifts God has bestowed on his people. Man merely has to acknowledge the call of God on that person, not hamper that call, delay that call, and most of all sell the right to follow that call. I am disappointed the church operates more like a worldly business than a house of God. In fact I am not sure there should be all these churches at all. Yes, God gave the Israelites a command to construct a temple in Jerusalem as a place for him to meet with the people. But that temple veil was torn in two giving the right for every man to have direct access to God through the cross of Christ. Where am I headed with all this? What does this mean to me? I know God has called me to preach and teach his Word and I do that without the license or the ordination of men, but of God. I do it freely not expecting anything in return and I suppose that is all I should concern myself with. I am sure about his call, and how that should function, it is all this church business system that I am not sure of.
