Being a theological scholar at a late age without being financially affordable was a miracle in itself. What's more, I was thinking of studying theology, an ordinary snob that has a weakness as a human being, as an inaccessible giant wall. However, there is an incredible term that can be used among Christians to solve the problems of people in this dilemma. That is “laity theology”. Lay theology is literally a layman who can study the Bible more in depth. Since the Bible teaches'don't try to be a teacher', it is a kind of'gospel' for believers who do not want to go on a full-time pastor's path and simply want to study theology from the layman's point of view. I started as a “laity theologian” with the intention of digging into the truth the Bible says. In connection with the child's educational problems, the family decided to go abroad to study together and enrolled in a small seminary in North America to study theology. That shcool had online programs, so I can study in Canada and US where my family lived. There are so many masters in the world. There are many masters among lay people who study theology. They are those who practice their theology and believe in God while still knowing their secular occupation as a vocation and keeping silent.There are so many masters in the world.

Any job is sacred if it conforms to its calling to serve those who have sent themselves to the world while maintaining identity. In the early church, as well as in the Middle Ages, “the job in the world” was considered unholy and was taken for granted to pray and nurture away from the world. But when I read the Bible, this idea is wrong. The Bible teaches that we should not separate work from calling. Jesus was also a carpenter, and the apostle Paul also built a tent. These teachings are theorized by Reformers, especially John Calvin. He emphasized that he should be faithful to the professional calling to each. In conclusion, just because you have studied theology, leaving a seminary does not mean that you are a pastor or a missionary. Finding a vocation that suits you and performing it faithfully is what pleases the one who made the world and me.

My suggestion is to study the Bible after retirement, and then study theology. If you accept a pastoral or missionary mission after graduation, you can go that way. In general, however, it is too late to walk pastors. Therefore, you can become a lay leader such as a high-level elder in the church while continuing to make a living by making use of your existing hobbies and aptitudes. The salvation history of God is essential for the salvation of the community. Christ is the head of the church, and the believer functions as an organism. Individuals can find gifts and talents within the community. It is within the community that each of us is uniquely unique, and that our aspirations are different, but complementary.

Even if you are not a pastor, there are many ways to fulfill your calling as a gospel minister. Depending on your talents and aspirations, you will have to sell it along the way. Some people are good at planting churches and others are eager for missionary work. Some have the gift of teaching, while others are good at interpreting and translating. Since I was interested in learning foreign languages, I liked language-related subjects from a young age. I was particularly interested in linguistics such as Korean, classical Chinese, classical Korean, and English, but I was not interested in other subjects. You cannot do everything well. I am grateful to be able to clearly understand my aptitude. As I studied at the seminary, I realized that it was my mission to proclaim and expand the Word of God through foreign language learning and writing activities.
