I currently enrolled in university right now in studying civil engineering, which I loath so much. However, my main interest is still in the ministry and in theological study. In fact, ever since I was converted, God has blessed me abundantly with theological resources that I afforded at lower costs. I long for Packer's Knowing God, Calvin's Institutes, F.F.Bruce's biography on the Apostle Paul, etc...and God provided me what I ask for in prayers. I would prefer to read these works rather than spending a ridiculous amount of time on solving matrices or linear equations. So I have good reasons to believe that I'm gifted for the ministry.
If any of you have completed a seminary education, what are your advice on how to attain a theological education, particularly in the United States? I live in Canada but I find American reformed seminaries are much more theologically correct than politically correct. Also, 1 Timothy 3:2 prescribes the characteristics of a minister. How do you prepare for training in godliness aside from a theological education? I hope the Lord is willing for my desire.
