First, let me make a firm statement I believe: I say this because it is not everyone's belief: only God can make a Minister a minister of the Gospel! I have studied this area, went to Graduate School for it, did evangelism work, was ordained a minister in good standing in 1993, but I am not a minister. I am a poet, and I know it. Why do I say this? Simply: capacity, culture and application makes a good scholar, this I have. This also makes a good philosopher, this I have, and an orator, this I can do, but am not so good at. All these last things I mention can make for a good poet, this I am. But a true minister, he must have certain principles, motives, feelings, aims, this, -man cannot give to man: that is why the Lord asked me "What do you want to be?" And I answered, "Sir, a poet!" Yes, in essence, it must be given from above.
