The Role of Education in Ministry
Education serves as a valuable tool for individuals seeking to fulfill their calling in ministry, yet it is not the sole indicator of one's ability to serve God. Many notable biblical figures exemplified this, such as the apostle Peter, who was a fisherman with no formal education, and the apostle Paul, who underwent extensive training in Jewish law and Greek philosophy. This highlights that God can use individuals from diverse educational backgrounds and that both formal and informal education can prepare someone for ministry. The emphasis is on diligence in studying and being equipped to teach, as exemplified in scripture, especially in developing a solid understanding of God's word.
