Some people have a JOB in the church; Others involve themselves in a MINISTRY. What's the diff'rence?
If you are doing it just because no one else will, it's a JOB.
If you are doing it to serve the Lord, it's a MINISTRY.
If you quit because somebody criticized you, it was a JOB.
If you keep on serving, it's a MINISTRY.
If you'll do it only as long as it does not interfere withyour other activities, it's a JOB.
If you are committed to staying with it even when it meansletting go of other things, it's a MINISTRY.
If you quit because no one praised you or thanked you, it was a JOB.
If you stay with it even though nobody recognizes your efforts, it is a MINISTRY.
It's hard to get excited about a JOB.It's almost impossible not to be ecxited about a MINISTRY.
If your concern is success, it's a JOB.
If your concern is faithfulness, it's a MINISTRY.
An average church is filled with people doing JOB.
A great and growing church is filled with people involved in MINISTRY.
Were do we fit in? What about us?
If GOD calls you to a MINISTRY, don't treat it like a JOB.
If you have a JOB, give it up and find a MINISTRY.
God does not want us feeling stuck with a JOB, But excited and faithful to HIM in a MINISTRY.
