Billie Hunt (http://www.billiehunt.org/) taught at our church Sunday morning and night. Her teaching was about not giving up on your dreams. She used Joseph as an illustration. The whole thing got me thinking, so I would say she did her job well. I am called to ministry. I work in Information Technology. I make a good living in IT. Over the last eight years, I’ve earned certifications, mastered new technologies, and advanced my career. Stephanie is able to stay home with Zander because I earn a good living in IT. I am called to ministry.
In a sermon at World Harvest Church, Mario Murillo quoted his book Critical Mass saying:
You are a Christian! That means to do anything below what you were created to do will bore you!
I love IT work. I love scripting and making technology work. I love solving problems with technology. At the same time, I hate IT work. I hate that I’m not working in ministry. I hate that I’m still advancing my career because I feel like I’m abandoning my calling. Billie Hunt quoted Matthew 22:14 from a translation I’ve never heard of tonight (The Johnson translation maybe?). It read something like this “Many are invited to live in the spiritual, but few prepare to do so”…
Lord – Am I preparing to live in the spiritual? Or am I preparing for something else…
