Very few of us earned degrees or even thought about university.<BR/><BR/>I had a pastorate my first year in Bible college. It was more important to be serving than earn fancy degrees and impress our fellow man.<BR/><BR/>I am not minimizing degrees. They do play a role, but I wonder if they haven't replaced service as the key factor in the pastoral ministry.<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/><BR/>JimAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
