How many Christians are doing the Lords work? What is the job description?

This is why so many people hate Christians,  but u did open the door.  The answer is simple.  When Jesus was asked what was the greatest commandment, 1st he said Love the Lord God with all your heart and soul and mind.  The 2nd greatest commandment is LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF. How many people really do that?  Very few, believe me!  It's simple really the golden rule; treat people the way u want to be treated.  Then and only then when trust has been established and walls are knocked down do u share your faith with someone. \n\nNo one wants to be preached at, if they did more people would be in church.  They want to be loved and accepted for who they are!!!!  That's what Jesus did. Some of the most touching stories in the Bible are about Jesus relating to children, women, tax collectors, the crippled, the diseased, prostitutes, thieves etc.(At that time all these people were shunned or looked down upon) Each time Jesus changed someone he didn't begin by preaching to them he usually opened the door with a question letting them know he didn't judge their actions he let them recognize their own sin/like the woman at the well.ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS IF U R GOING TO TALK THE TALK THEN BE WILLING TO WALK THE WALK.\n\nWell Lady Death, I guess u struck another "nerve" with me. Thanks for letting me get that one out too.

A Jehovah's Witness who uses Yahoo Answers is sitting in front of a computer.\n\nPersonal fellowship has an important role in true worship, but the internet is certainly *NOT* the place for true Christians to find good association.\n\n(Hebrews 10:24,25) And let us consider one another to incite to love and fine works, not forsaking the gathering of ourselves together, as some have the custom, but encouraging one another, and all the more so as you behold the day drawing near.\n\nLearn more:\nhttp://watchtower.org/e/20000608/diagram_02.htm\nhttp://watchtower.org/e/20050922/article_01.htm\nhttp://watchtower.org/e/20041208a/article_01.htm\nhttp://watchtower.org/e/20050522a/article_01.htm

My friend, you have hit on something that God is doing in this hour.  Pray!  He's leading you to a conclusion that the mainstream church may not agree with, but which God is expressing at this time.  God has a plan for His Church, and it is not to finish it's course on earth in corruption.  :)\nIf you want any further discussion, always feel free to e-mail me.

It is the Lord's administration.  The Lord assigns some to be Apostles, Evangelists, Prophets, Pastors & Teachers. (Eph.4:11)\n\nAnyone can call himself a Pastor, but that doesn't mean he is a Pastor called of God.\n\nIn Christianity, if a person isn't called to be a Pastor by the Lord Jesus Christ, person isn't really a true Pastor (even if he does start his own church).  Pastor not called of God to be a Pastor is really a hypocrite.  Or, if a born again Christian, doing something in their own understanding that isn't the Lord's calling and won't be successful.

my parents are BOTH ministers, and they made about 25-45 depending on the church really. And they worked second jobs. They're response to this was "we didn't care how much we got paid, our utilities were paid by the church and the house, we would have worked for free, because all we wanted was to touch those people sitting in the pews listening to us. That's all that really matters."

Working for the Lord not pay very well unless you plan on misleading people for money. SO, the job will be what the Lord lead you to.\nReligious Studies work you through a systematic learning of the Bible. Cultures of the times, so you understand things like a man giving you his shoe or Lot offering his Daughters. You learn specifics of every book of the Bible, so, you understand why God do as He do. You may want to learn the Biblical Greek  and if you can handle that then learn the Biblical Hebrew. You study some things like Theology, Semantics and other stuff to help you understand the Bible, God, Jesus etc.\nYouth Ministry, you study some of the above Basics, Childhood Development, Sociology, Teaching Methods, and some Basic Psychology stuff (I find Debatable). You learn of how Youth Programs are organized and how to utilize the Youth into the Ministry. Missionary work and fun trips to do these things.\nThere a lot to learn, but, if, you not want a paper to show on the wall, you can forget the State Core Curriculum (Math, English etc.) Just take the MAIN Studies and Regular World History and World Literature you be surprised what these two can do in your Bible Understanding.\nI learned and just use the knowledge to teach others what they want to know. As, I said, not much pay, but, I have Peace and Happiness. I guess God/Jesus loves me, that all I really want. Hope this helps you, most Colleges of this type learning are Private and Tuition may be more than a State Funded College. But, there are Grants, Scholarship and Student Loans. I highly advise against getting ANY Student Loans, you do not need this Debt right out of College. Some Colleges do have programs you can work on Campus and make some money, they easy jobs.

Jesus is our King and Leader. He directed the preaching work in the 1st century and He is directing the modern day preaching of the kingdom message found in the Bible. He will restore the earth to the original condition of Paradise.\nThe Head of the Christ is God.\nThe Head of the Man is Christ.\nThe "board" as you say Jethrojudas, is so that the work can be done in an organized way. Otherwise, without organization, is caose. \nIt's all found in YOUR COPY OF THE BIBLE.

The kingdom of God(not heaven) is within us Luke 17:20-21.Most of the answers you are getting are discussing 'Kingdom of heaven' or 'Kingdom of God' these are two seperate issues and neither has to do with the section of scripture you refer to. You are mentioning The Lords Prayer and in it, it states "Thy Kingdom come". This is refering to when Satan is cast into the lake of Fire(no more temptation of sin) and there is a New Heaven and a New Earth. The holy city New Jerusalem shall descend out of heaven and land on the New Earth and all that were resurected unto the resurection of life shall spend all eternity on Earth glorifying God. In our prayers we are to let God know that we are looking forwad to this day. God will have complete control and reign over all mankind with Jesus as lord and King over David who will be over the 12 apostles who will be over us. Jesus' position is why he is often referred to as The King of Kings and The lord of Lords.
