full time ministry

what does it mean...???

I think it means to live life according to God. to spread the gospel to many. to do what you are called to do, love.

the phrase "full time ministry" i feel like has gotten a different meaning. to work in a church, nonprofit, be a missionary abroad. so most times than not people strive for that because of this notion that we are called to full time ministry (the false meaning of it). People are tortured by their current situation and are determined to find a job where they CAN do "full time ministry."

of course there is so many factors to why one should leave their job for follow a different road.
anyways i just want to maybe change the meaning of this phrase and even those that use the second meaning of the phrase and work in a church etc. should not say that anymore.

we teach and encourage people that they should use their life and whatever surrounds them is their ministry. if a person is a Christ follower is in full time ministry.

me working at a church isnt any more glamorous than if i was working somewhere else. i envy those who take every opportunity where ever they are at to share God's love. they see the opportunities and take it, whether how hard or easy.
