Points to Ponder
If you are doing it because no one else
will, it’s a job.
If you are doing it to serve the Lord,
it’s a ministry.
If you are doing it just well enough to
get by, it’s a job.
If you are doing it to the best of your
ability, it’s a ministry.
If you will do it only so long as it doesn’t
interfere with other activities, it
is a job.
If you are committed to staying with it,
even when it means letting 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 when no one
else seems to notice, it’s a ministry.
If you do it because someone else said
it needed to be done, it’s a job.
If you do it because you are convinced
it needs to be done, it’s a ministry.
It is hard to get excited about a job.
It is almost impossible not to get excited
about a ministry.
People may say, “Well done,” when you
do your job.
The Lord will say, “Well done,” when
you complete your ministry.
An average church is filled with people
doing jobs.
A great church is filled with people involved
in ministry.
