At best, one must hope that a person who does this has good intentions of "someday" beginning to minister. What sickens me is to attend a church where there are so many men sitting around with "nothing to do"... but pay their licensure dues each year. Why pay the dues for a driver license, if you're not going to drive? Would that make sense?

The sure cure for not getting used is to become useful.

Hey if the Pastor doesn't find me useful, maybe God will if I ask Him to lead me to someone to teach a bible study or knock a door and bring someone to church. Or visit the sick or those in prison. Seems there are plenty of street corners not occupied by a preachers.
