My journey to discover Charles Spurgeon journal entry #4
Charles Spurgeon believed that the best way to learn how to preach is by preaching. I resonate with that greatly! How many more preachers, teachers, worship leaders, evangelists, etc. we would have if we learned to apprentice them instead of sending them off to seminary (or cemetery as my friend calls it!).
I am a preacher, teacher and a worship leader though I have never been to college for an hour. Nevertheless, I was immersed in vibrant Christian faith through my parents and the culture they created in our home. A.W. Tozer, the famous preacher and Author from the mid-west was also self-taught and organically developed.
What matters more than any education is an earnestness of devotion to Jesus and a willingness to obey Him.
How old was Spurgeon when he began preaching? See my next post.
@KarlGessler can't agree with your comments enough
i, too, am a worship leader, teacher and preacher...
anointing, to me, seems the key missing from the problem too often
when at school, my career development advisor told me my testing proved i should be come a vicar
i tried to point out that that was a calling not a job...perhaps in some ways she got one thing right.............calling is less important than it should be...
