I think there is no excuse today. A young man can find affordable education if he wants to. Twenty, thirty years ago, this wasn't the norm.

I understand what you all are saying. I'm not against education either. I'm just saying that it's no substitute for calling, anointing, and a love for lost humanity and people in general.
I know that you aren't saying anything different. I guess I just put the emphasis on anointing, calling and sacrificial love before education. I wish I had more education too, but I do think that we need to keep the emphasis in the right place and on the right things.
I don't see really where education makes much difference in pulpit ministry. As long as a man (or woman) can read and study they can be as educated as they need to be in regard to what they're preaching and the crowd they're ministering to.
What REALLY matters to the saint in the pew?
I mean I know men who are college educated who take scripture out of context and aren't really great preachers either.
