It seems that the 3 pointers Tong used to give were not recorded by me. And since last Sunday School's topic is on the Will of God, I should really write this down which was way overdue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 3 verses that Tong used to discern if one is called by God full time ministry (Thanks to this source<\/a> for helping me recollect the verses):<\/p>\n\n\n\n Philippians 2:13 - God placed the burden in our hearts.
