God's Calling

Although there are many missionaries, pastors, one must be truly called by God to serve, to be a true servant of God.

The
calling of God is not ambition. One must be clear of God's calling. If
one is unclear, how could he dare to serve? humility? Nay, such
humility is fake and it's even worse than pride. An excuse from
responsibilities.

True, there could be mistakes, but one must be bold to keep working for God, if mistakes were made, correct them immediately.

Nonetheless,
if one is not called by God, one cannot even begin presume these
responsibilities. As Martin Luther once said, one must in fact run away
from these as if running away from hell's fire. (According to Dr.
Stephen Tong, I have yet to confirm this myself).

Anyway, one who
is called must also be holy. Then there's a question where if one
sinned, would that void his calling? The question would be relative.
Because God's calling is up to God, not up to man. However, God's
servants must also keep themselves in check with God. So, only those
who are called by God would have to honestly search for the answer as
to why he sinned, what's next. Many however, would just take God's
forgiveness for granted and presume that God's still using them, while
in fact they were actually being pitied by their congregations hidden
by the fake respect shown by the congregations. Therefore, there's no
absolute answer to this.

As to telling if one is called by God. I
would say it is easier to tell if one is not called by God than to tell
if one is truly called by God. Nonetheless, in time, either answers
should be quite clear. It is just sad that many would be afraid to
"judge" this. It has become a habit where even when one admitted one is
not a christian, other christians would still like to believe this
answer to be abstract, relative, and therefore still assume one is
christian...or...almost christian, and "preach" but actually treated
him as if he's christian. Therefore, it is clear that the Truth has
been obscured once more. Very sad.
