I am always frustrated when I hear people joke about the ministry as a being a job for soft headed slackers. This perception may have been caused by the thrusting of ill-prepared people into the ministry who possessed a nice heart and little else. I believe that Christian leadership is the highest calling and therefore deserves the highest calibre of people available!
History tells us that the Egyptians held the role of priest in such high regard that a person for this role could only be chosen from the most learned of their philosophers. Further to this, when the nation chose their kings they would select from the priests. They recognised that the best of the best should be given to the work of God!
I love the fact that Kings is filled with some of the most outstanding young people in our community. As Christians, let's be of such quality that should our government want leaders they could do no better than look to the church.

Great post Dustan. Once the beliefe in God has been established the ramifications of that lead to a pursuit for an ever-inreasing intimacy with Him. As a pastor the responsibility to lead, guide and partner with people on that quest is a great one.
Great insight!
P.S. u gota post more often...;)
