Starting his educational journey in the religious arena has been very rewarding and uplifting. Everyone, especially in ministry, should invest in the formal study of God's Word. It takes a little more to win souls and minister in today's world than in years past. Scripture informs us that the world is becoming weaker and wiser; therefore, soul winners should seek to become wiser and more knowledgeable in God's holy Word. Thus, the author encourages anyone starting in the ministry to grasp a good grip on Scripture learning and understanding before taking on the devil in ministry. Learn about the religious systems at work and other religious persuasions. The Scriptures tell us to "study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth" (2 Timothy 2:15).
