seasonal servant?


seasonal ministry?
definately

knowing when it's time to put the flip flops away-
there's the challenge


a friend was asking me in an email if i believed in 'seasonal ministry'... that is, a ministry calling that is relational, circumstantial and contextual, rather than universal. in other words, does God call us to ministry involvements that have both a beginning and an end?

where is it written down that everything of God must be forever simply because God is?

God is the immutable one- everything else is subject to change. this means that our ministry calling can change shape many times over the course of the trip. a ministry that arose from an expressed need may very well come to its conclusion upon either the ultimate meeting of the need OR the natural dissolution of that need.

either way, let the thing go and move on.
