Frustration....

I'm somewhat..well actually I'm really frustrated. I find it so frustrated because people in the church are so...well they just don't trust God to put it lightly. It seems that everyone goes to church to do their "churchly choir" and amens the preacher while when the rubber meets the road, they don't believe everything that the Bible says.
I felt the call into ministry. So I decided to presue that calling and attend Lee University. I went and I absolutely loved every second of it until I ran into some health issues that cause me to have to take a break. All the while I was receiving statements like "You really can't make a good living as a youth pastor" or "Money makes the world go round and you won't get it being a youth pastor" and my personal favorite "There is no security in the ministry, especially youth ministry."
All of these comments frustrated me to no end. Everybody carries their Bible to church and we've all read the God will supply all my needs scripture, but yet it seems everyone tries to make it on their own ability.
Now I have no problem with people who work hard and earn their livings. That is great and wonderful, but I get totally frustrated when so called "Christians" put doubt in the mind of people possibly wanting to presue the call into ministry. I thanks God for PW because he has had the single greatest impact on my life and I'm so glad that he presued the call into his ministry.
Well that was just me venting a lil bit.. lemme know what ya think!
Peace!
