Ordination is first of all a simple confirmation that God has indeed called a man and that he has faithfully shown the evidences of this call. It places some honor from those who do the ordaining upon the man who is being ordained.
What about those who have never heard the gospel? Will they be held accountable before God?
We never know what our lives or even a day may bring forth. We only know that we will face many trials in our lifetime. But rest assured, God has a purpose for these trials and temptations. If we will trust in Him, He will give us the victory and show us even greater blessings.
The children of Israel are in Kadesh, the place where they decided that they could not go and possess the land of Canaan. The people are thirsty. The Lord has provided water already out of a rock in Horeb. This is a chapter of trials.
We come into contact with people who are lost and on their way to hell every day. Yet, we do nothing to reach them. Why do we not tell them? We do not lead others to Christ because we do not have the heart of the apostle Paul.
