Are You in Ministry?

June 19

"I think I know you," the man at the next table stated, "are you in ministry?"

"I'm not ordained,," and wondered immediately why I said that. It sounded so awkward. He didn't ask me if I was a minister. He asked if I was in ministry. Aren't all believers expected to be in ministry?" I should have said yes. Are you in ministry?  A couple of reminders:

"But be watchful in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry."
(2 Timothy 4:5)

"Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us; (2 Corinthians 5:20)
