The sacred calling for a Christian to become a missionary or even a chosen one for working as a pastor might not always be present for every Christian. Some Christians can justify their habit of not spreading God’s word because of not being chosen like pastors or missionaries. Moreover, the sacred calling is defined by some Christians to be the benchmark for ignoring their duties as Christians. There is more concentration by many Christians towards secular calling. Therefore, engaging culture can be difficult for Christians for not being motivated enough to preach or to learn about the importance of the word of God.
