Starting something you cannot finish

“…those who graduate from this school today, though rightly congratulated, are being sent out to put everything they have, everything they are, everything they have learned, and everything they hope for, on the line for mission and ministry in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

They are not starting careers. Indeed, this may end their careers. They are not newly-minted professionals. In fact, they may be largely useless in the eyes of the secular world. They are now deployed for a life of ministry that runs counter to the wisdom of the world…

Serve, preach, teach, and tell the world about Jesus until they put you in a box or until Jesus comes. And all will be well.”

– Albert Mohler’s address from today’s Commencement of Ministry ceremony at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville.
