School of Ministry

Yesterday I spoke at the school of ministry. The school of ministry is a conference that newly credentialed ministers go through in our fellowship. It is a great honor to be able to speak at this conference.

One of the things that I told them is that for the past 10 years I have been in the "school of ministry". God has used the ministry to stretch me and grow me. Much of that growth has come through pain. That is one of the reasons I like ministry: it's hard. It causes you to be humble and dependent on God.

Like me, you are in a school. It is called the school of life. Are you learning the lessons?

Think about these five rules of life:
1. You will learn lessons.
2. There are no mistakes only lessons.
3. A lesson is repeated until we learn it.
4. If you don’t learn it the easy way it gets harder.
5. You know you have learned the lesson when your actions change.
