Called, Trained and Ordained is a manual for the work of the associate minister in the local church. Full of practical advice, wisdom from Scripture, and knowledge of human behavior, this work will serve to be helpful to both associate ministers, pastors, and lay workers. Beginning with an associate minister's call to the ministry, Williams outlines how to recognize and confirm a 'calling'. Williams then considers what the scope of the associate minister's duties and purposes are in the context of his relationship with the senior pastor and congregation at large. Facing spiritual warfare, receiving adequate training, and caring for oneself and family is also discussed at length. Central to this book is Williams' direct and indirect call for new pastors to clothe themselves with a spirit of humility and to eagerly desire God's glory lest they fall into the dangerous sins of pride and self-glorification. Associate pastors are admonished to be sensitive to the Spirit's leading and to be obedient to God in all situations at all times. Careful warning is given to avoid all forms of gossip, envy, jealousy, and competition and to instead love, care for, and count others better than oneself. This work will prove to be a helpful and encouraging resource to all who seek to become or train associate pastors. About the Author Benny L. Williams was born in Louisville, Kentucky.
