Who are you working for

Interesting illustration
I was confronted by a father who told me "I don't know if 
I want my child to go into full-time service"

I was taken back because I thought all Christian parents wanted
their children to be used of God .

I asked him.  "
Who would you rather your child work for?" 
1. A lost employer that has no interest in spiritual  things. 
2. God, who has promised to supply all our needs according to
his riches in Glory by Christ Jesus?

I know that all children are not going to go into full-time service
but, why would a parent not want them to serve the Lord?
