    Are The Ministry Gifts And Calling Of God Without Repentance?

    Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Aug 13, 2019
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,935 views

    There is a belief in the church today that a person called to minister can still be effectual in reaching others for the sake of the Gospel because “the gifts and calling of God are without repentance” (Rom 11:29 KJV).

    In other words, a person can be in active and open unholy living and in rebellion to God’s law and still retain their position to be used to bless others without changing their sinful ways through repentance. It is true that God can use anything to promote His kingdom. He even used a donkey to get ...read more

It is placed between the states of the oppression and liberation of Israel. Let us meditate the call of Moses. Exodus 3:1-4 GOD’S CALL TO MOSES Now ...read more
