Bro. Berger, you make it sound as if Bible College is somehow a more
spiritual
choice and those of us who chose to attend a secular university instead
somehow
do not have our priorities right. The choice between Bible College and a
"secular" university is not the same as the choice between "serving God
or
serving mammon!" I think that it is sad that this type of attitude could
exist
in the church
First of all an open apology to any who felt I semi-flamed you with that
post. Bro you did a good job of response to this post. I think we need
to actively seek God concerning what HIS will is for us. Also the counsel
of a Pastor is of help here. We see many also who have great opportunity
to minister due to the fact that a career choice also meant a adequate
income.
On the other hand we need to do a quick work and that means to see as
many filled with the Holy Ghost as possible. That requires specialized
training that Bible College may fill.
