Edify: For the Servant

There are things that will blow your mind in ministry. Should we be surprised? Maybe, but we should always be patient.

Sometimes we want to fly away and never return because of a few critics. But if Jesus took the cross, I can take some critics.

Maybe you do. Maybe the brethren are tired. What can we do?

When ministry becomes your identity, and not Christ, your heart will often soar with vain pride or drown in pity.

Priority matters in regards to your relationship with the Lord and your personal holiness. Don’t forget amidst the business of your work.

Our audience is used to HD images and graphics. Why should the church be in the stone age concerning PowerPoint, flyers, and the like? Why shouldn’t we put emphasis on the details? It matters.

Investing in a good library, digital software, and recording devices are beneficial to your work. Not just for yourself, but for the generation now and the one to come

Post Covid, we now live in an exposed light that church attendance and numbers does not equate good preaching. Your effectiveness has never been based on the number of congregants, thank God He’s revealed that to us.

Your actions preach louder than your words. What are they saying? The glass-house lifestyle we live can be a blessing or a curse, which depends on you

Criticism should be constructive and I should listen, take it to heart, and move it into action. Proverbs 29:1 is key for us.
