Some people have a job in the church.
Others involve themselves in ministry.
What’s the difference?
If you do it just because no one else will...it’s a job!
If you do it to serve God...it’s a ministry!
If you quit because someone criticized you...it’s a job!
If you kept on serving in spite of criticism...it’s a ministry!
If you’ll do it only so long as it doesn’t interfere with other things...it’s a job!
If you’re committed to staying with it, even when it means letting other things go...it’s a ministry!
If you quit because no one ever praised or thanked you...it’s a job!
If you stay even though no one notices your efforts...it’s a ministry!
If you do it because someone else said it needs to be done...it’s a job!
If you do it because you sensed God saying it needs to be done...it’s a ministry!
It’s hard to get excited about a job.
It’s almost impossible not to get excited about a ministry!
Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not men
Ephesians 6:7
