How do we know that ministers should prioritize the gospel?
Answered in 1 source
Ministers are called to prioritize the gospel as Christ becomes their central focus, leading them to abandon all distractions.
According to the teaching in the article, entering the ministry involves a profound transformation where the person's interests shift towards the gospel of Christ. The minister's experience of Christ’s love and the gospel takes precedence over familial and personal ties, reflecting the biblical truth presented in Mark 8:35 that one must lose their life for Christ to truly save it. Additionally, this commitment involves humbling oneself, discarding worldly wisdom and self-righteousness to solely focus on preaching the gospel, which is a strong directive from Scripture.
