Sometimes I wonder just what my job as a United Methodist Minister is exactly. I know God called me to proclaim His Truth, but sometimes I wonder just what that looks like on a daily basis. My "go to" Scripture reference for when this question rises to the surface is Ephesians 4:11-13 where Paul says, So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.
I was reading a sermon by John Piper today and this is what he said: "My job is to glorify Jesus Christ by calling his people to be distinctively Christian in the way they live their lives." That resonates with me.
