Discerning The Call To Plant A Church – By Eric Davis on The Cripplegate
In his latest contribution to the ever growing Theological archive The Cripplegate, Pastor Eric Davis brings 5 Biblical and down to earth criterium for young men to heavily consider as they pray and pursue obedience to the great commission. He writes:
It’s easy to over complicate the call to ministry. But there’s nothing particularly magical about discerning it, even when it comes to church planting. And we need not put out a fleece or wait for a vision. In fact, if you’re looking for that, then you’re probably looking in the wrong place. The call to plant a church is similar to the call to pastoral ministry since a church-planter, by definition, will do all that a pastor does, though a bit more. Church planting, then, is fundamentally pastoral ministry, which makes discerning the call simpler than we might think.
