I don't think that servants of God, preachers, ministers, whatever you want to call them had pulpits in Jonah's day to leave. The bottom line is that God told Jonah to go cry against Ninivah or preach against it, same thing but Jonah rebelled against God, quit and went the other way. Jonah had...

You ever heard of Jonah ?

Quit taking every thing everyone says personally.

We have a new generation today. We went past generation X some years ago so these must be generation Zzzz. They say they want to work but actually they want the top job from the get go. Next if they can't find an employer to hire them they start thinking federal aid, a monthly check. Since...

Welcome sir. Your John Deer lawn mower story reminds me of what I saw back in June of this year when I went to pick up my two oldest twin grand children when school turned out after they visited High School on eight grade day. Most kids in high school have their own car unlike the days when I...

I think there are times when a true child of God doubts his own salvation. This will happen when a person begans to look inward instead of outward to the cross. Well I think I just mis-read the OP, Sorry.

Here is some scripture that I think applies to this post. Luke 14:25-33 And there went a great multitude with him: and he turned, and said unto them, If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he...

The answer to your question is in post twenty two. What amazes me is some people won't accept Job 22:1-4 and Job 35:3-8 when these scripture are speaking of Gods essential being.

Biblical evidences and support is what I ask for. The reason I ask is because there are many who at one time preached the gospel but have quit for various reasons. I might as others who have answered feel sorry for a person who quit because I have felt like doing the same thing myself but can a...

C4K, when you use the words, "and by the grace of God" this is a sticking point. Wouldn't God give all preachers the same grace not to quit ? The scripture say's, 1 Cor 10:13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common with man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be...

Another scenario. Let's say you preached and pastored a number of years believing a certain belief but as you advanced in your studies of the word of God your mind totally changed from your former convictions. You tell the church and they can't except it so you leave. Both beliefs are Baptist...

A certain age meaning old age carries more baggage with it other than the word "old age" I have a preacher friend older than I am that was a active pastor until his mind by reason of age began to faultier to the point that in his messages he would forget what he had already said, so he stepped...

Tom, good answer. Let me be a bit more specific, IMO Satan sends more attacks on the man in the pulpit than any other member of the body. If by constant buffits by Satan or trials by fire he is over whelmed and he gives up and quits, was this man really ever called ? Was he called but will loose...

Let me re-phrase the question. If a preacher of the gospel or a servant or whatever you want to call him is active in his service, is there any good reason from a biblical point of view he should quit this position ?

1 Cor 1-17 For Christ sent me not to baptize but to preach the gospel. 1 Cor 9-16 Woe unto me if I preach not the gospel. Now that we have that cleared up back to the OP and the question I ask.

I always thought that the callings of God was without repentance, meaning it was for life.

Are there any biblical or other wise reasonable reasons that a preacher could quit preaching ? As a example, old age or very bad health but are there other reasons ?

It is perfectly true that God is both honored and dishonored by men; not in his essential being, but in his official character. It is equally true that God has been glorified by creation, by providence, and by redemption. But all of this has to do with his manifestative glory and the recognition...

1 Cor 8:4-7 There is none other God but one. For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many) But to us there be but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and...

Job 22:2-4 Can a man be profitable unto God, as he that is wise may be profitable unto himself ? Is it any pleasure to the Almighty, that thou art righteous ? or is it gain to him, that thou makest thy ways perfect ? Will he reprove thee for fear of thee ? will he enter with thee into judgment ...
