Thirsting Souls Bible Teaching

(Eph 3:7) “Whereof I was made a minister,….”  It is a real and true thing that God “calls’ men to minister in the office of missionary and pastor. I know, for He called me. Yet, there is a sense that all of the saved are to minister. “Minister” simply means to serve. Two types of people gather together in the local church. Those who minister and those who do not. Those who minister are few in comparison to those who do not. It seems the thought is centered on self rather on the people around them. I am not referring to fellowship. It is not ministering if it is for the purpose of receiving rather than to add to the good of the other.
