“We hear a lot today about a Madison Avenue approach to church work. Pastors
are now CEO's and churches are run by boards of directors. Lay people are told
to take "ownership." The problem is that none of this can be found in
the Bible! Pastors are shepherds and the church is a flock and no one "owns"
any part of a ministry. If you have to have ownership to do your best for the
Lord something is wrong. Words have meaning and when you change the words it is
probably because you have changed the meaning.” S. E. Trail
My
prayer for you today is for you to serve because you are saved; surrendered and
seeking to do His will.
2 Corinthians 1:12
For our rejoicing is this, the testimony
of our conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly
wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have had our conversation in the world, and
more abundantly to you-ward. KJV
“Did you hear the one about the guy from
Alabama who went to Alaska to be a pioneer? He went to the game warden for
advice, “to be a real pioneer, you’ve got to skin a polar bear, and then kiss
an Eskimo woman right on the lips”, he came back the next day bleeding and
bruised, one arm hanging by a thread, said, “where’s that Eskimo woman I’ve got
to skin?”
