3. The Ennoblement of a Secular Vocation
November 29, 2007

My calling to vocational ministry came not long after my conversion to Christ, during my freshman year at Penn State. That call was so compelling that I can remember wondering then how other Christians could consider a "secular" vocation to be an option for their life's work. "How could a pers...
