The median age is 43. That is my age (though I am not licensed) and I wonder why that is?

Isn't God calling anymore?

Included in our message is yesterday was this, the nmost important thing one can do in the kingdom is to serve.

Have we lost are ability to serve?

I know a pastor who preaches that God does not call men to preach. Only other men call men to preach and you can't preach unless he tells you to. Furthermore, if you feel the call to preach somewhere besides his church he stated "Men who want to go pastor or evangelize, that is their mistake"

I wonder how many are going to hell while 7 preachers sit on his pews or his good friend that has 50+ preachers sitting on his pews. Who is going to hell the African who never heard or the Jerk who would not let a man go preach to the african nations.

How did they figure the median* age was 43 if about 600 of the 9000 ministers are under age 30?



*a value in an ordered set of values below and above which there is an equal number of values or which is the arithmetic mean of the two middle values if there is no one middle number

Because the rest are in their 100's
