What Are You Waiting For?

Acts 9:19-20 And when he had received meat, he was strengthened. Then was Saul certain days with the disciples which were at Damascus. And straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God.

If you understand dispensational truth, you understand that Paul is the pattern that the New Testament believer is to follow (1 Cor. 4:16; 1 Cor. 11:1).  Paul began preaching immediately after he was saved; which most of us know.  But what is more important is what the Bible doesn't say about Paul's (or still Saul in this case) beginning ministry.  Notice, Paul - the ex-murderer and blasphemer - begins preaching and he hasn't: been ordained, been to Bible college, been approved by an elder w/ an honorary doctorate, received a license to preach, or completed the new members class.

Paul simply and immediately went and preached what he knew: "Christ...is the Son of God."  Preach what you know.  God isn't looking for professional Christians: he's looking for willing servants to follow Paul's example. 

So...what are you waiting for?
