R.C. Sproul

What would you think if I started a group within our church, and we call it Unemployment Anonymous, and that we take as our mission to go to work trying to help these people that we encounter who are unemployed to find jobs?

I said, do it.

And she started that, and that became a vital arm of ministry in the church.

She was far more gifted in administration.

than she was in evangelism.

And what does the apostle Paul say?

Some are administrators.

Some even have the gift of giving.

The biggest way they can help the church is to finance the church.

I remember talking to a man who was a multi-millionaire who had given

generously to many Christian organizations, and he came to me one day and he said, R.C., I've been thinking about leaving my job and going into the ministry, becoming a pastor.

What do you think?

I said, well, you're going to have to make a sober analysis of your gifts and go through all these hoops and all that business that I've already talked to.

And I said, and you're going to have to search out the will of God on this.

It may be God's call on your life to be a pastor.

I don't know.

But I can tell you this.

He said, what?

I sure hope it isn't.

He said, why not?
