Dangers, Toils, and Snares
Vocational ministry is not for the faint-hearted, which is why God’s call must be settled in the heart of a pastor or missionary. In his second letter to the Corinthians, the Apostle Paul reluctantly boasts about the ministry challenges he faced.
For example, Paul writes, “Five times I received at the hands of the Jews the forty lashes less one. Three times I was beaten with rods. Once I was stoned” (2 Corinthians 11:24). Paul goes on to expose the very real dangers, toils, and snares he experienced as a minister of the gospel.
Has God called you to serve Him vocationally in ministry? If He truly has, don’t let anything keep you from fulfilling the ministry He entrusted to you.
