In Romans 8:6, Paul contrasts a self-focused life, calling it a “dead end,” with a God-centered life, which leads one “out into the open, into a spacious, free life” (The Message). Eugene Peterson’s language reflects what ministry is. While ministry is challenging (to say the least), it is a unique privilege whose rewards are the very opposite of a dead end. Ministry is a call from God to champion the life-changing message and person of Jesus Christ. Have you heard that Call? The Christian Ministry degree at MACU seeks to challenge and prepare men and women for a variety of roles in the church. The goal is to provide biblical knowledge with practical ministry skills, that can be united with the call from God, as Luke writes, to serve God’s purposes in your generation (Acts 13:36). |
