I was reading a Facebook post of a well-known pastor yesterday. He wrote a post explaining that he was planning on planting another church in another state. I think that is GREAT!

So did everyone else….

Everyone on the post kept telling the pastor to come to their city and state. They explained that they needed a “good church” in their area. They said that no church in their area was reaching anyone.

So why don’t THEY start one in their city?

Why as Christians do we often wait for someone else to do something that God has revealed to us? Why do we feel that ministry is only for “full-time” ministers or people who have gone to seminary? We always seem to use the excuse “God hasn’t called me to _______”. Well, if God is putting a conviction or revelation in your heart… He’s calling you.

Test the call… (Is it in line with Scripture? Have you talked about it with Godly council?)

Pray about the call… (and pray some more)

If you still feel the call…

Get out there and obey God.
