Some people have a JOB in the church; others involve themselves in a MINISTRY.
\nWhat’s the difference?<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you are doing it just because no one else will, it’s a JOB.
\nIf you are doing it to serve the Lord, it’s a MINISTRY.<\/p>\n

If you quit because somebody criticized you, it was a JOB.
\nIf you keep on serving, it’s a MINISTRY.<\/p>\n

If you’ll do it only as long as it does not interfere with your other activities, it’s a JOB.
\nIf you are committed to staying with it even when it means letting go of other things, it’s a MINISTRY.<\/p>\n

If you quit because no one praised you or thanked you, it was a JOB.
\nIf you stay with it even though nobody recognizes your efforts, it is a MINISTRY.<\/p>\n

It’s hard to get excited about a JOB.
\nIt’s almost impossible not to be excited about a MINISTRY.<\/p>\n

If our concern is success, it’s a JOB.
\nIf our concern is faithfulness, it’s a MINISTRY.<\/p>\n

An average church is filled with people doing JOBs.
\nA great and growing church is filled with people involved in MINISTRY.<\/p>\n

Where do we fit in? What about us?<\/strong><\/p>\n

If God calls you to a MINISTRY, don’t treat it like a JOB.
\nIf you have a JOB, give it up and find a MINISTRY.<\/p>\n

God does not want us feeling stuck with a JOB, but excited and faithful to Him in a MINISTRY.<\/strong><\/p>\n
