Our General Calling begins the moment we become a Christian. When our Special Calling begins is not so easy to figure out. Someone may be aware of their Special Calling when they are very young or they may not discover it until they are much older.
God’s Special Calling forces us to leave the ranks of the volunteers, even the most motivated of volunteers, and join the ranks of the servants. And obviously God has a Special Calling for those who pursue ministries other than the ministries where people get paid. I talked to a pastor this week who said to me when asked what he was good at... "Well I am really good at all my sacerdotal tasks." But when one learns to think of ministry with a sacerdotal mindset the ministry means vocational ministry.
