My Calling

Another component of the Reformed Theological Seminary application is to describe your call to Christian service. I figured I'd share that as well.

At the age of 17 I feel that I received a calling from God to pursue advanced biblical and theological studies in order that I might teach others. Ezra 7:9-10, "The good hand of God was upon him, for Ezra set his heart to study the Torah of Yahweh, to practice it, and to teach his statutes and rules in Israel.", is a verse that I feel gives definition to my calling. In light of this calling, my heart's desire is to teach Biblical and Theological studies at a college or graduate school level. That type of vocation will require doctorate level training, so the M.A. in Religion program is the next step in that journey.
