subject: Involvement To Ministry [print this page] First, I should get involved in ministry because I've been drafted. I've been drafted. Just think about it. You are God's man. You are Gods woman. He's watched you. He's had his eye on you. You're one-of-a-kind. You're unique. You are looking at the greatest Ed Young that there'll ever be in the universe. Just go ahead and check me out now. Do you know why? I am the only one. When I get to heaven, God's not going to say, "Hey, Ed, why weren't you more like Owen Goff?
Why weren't you more like Randall Cunningham? Why what you more like..." He's going to say, "Ed, why weren't you more like you?" He'll say the same thing to you. So, you be you. If you aren't you, there's going to be a hole in history, a gap in creativity, a missing link within the body of Christ. Ephesians 2:10 says, "For we are God's workmanship"--or you could say masterpiece created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." We are God's No. 1 pick. I hope you heard that phrase "to do," "to do." The Christian life, ministry, is about A-C-T (clap, clap, clap) I-O-N (clap, clap, clap), ACTION, ACTION, God wants ACTION. What kind of action or you giving God? I've been drafted. Whether you are outside the family of God or inside the family of God, you have been drafted. Another reason why Ed Young Jr.should involve myself in-service--and this is for Christ followers only--is because I've been signed. I've already signed on the dotted line. Here's what God did. Our loving God saw a sin that separated us from his love, his plan, and his agenda. God, being the owner, is not like Jerry Jones. Jerry Jones is limited, financially, mentally, compared to God. God has got an unlimited bank. And God has negotiated the ultimate deal for us. He sent Jesus to die on the cross for our sins and rise again, something that we don't merit, something we don't deserve. I don't care how well we play, how many touchdowns we score, how many extra points we kick, we don't deserve it. Yet, God commissioned Christ to do the ultimate labor of love by sacrificing his body on a tree.
