JOB or MINISTRY ?

Some people have a JOB in the church, 
others involve themselves in a MINISTRY. What's the difference? 



If you are doing it just because no one else will, it's a JOB 
If you are doing it to serve the Lord, it's a MINISTRY 

If you quit because somebody criticized you, it was a JOB 
If you keep on serving, it's a MINISTRY 

If you'll do it only as long as it does not interfere your other activities,
it's 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 though nobody recognizes your efforts,
it is a MINISTRY 

It's hard to get excited about a JOB 
It's almost impossible not to be excited about a MINISTRY 

If our concern is success, it's a JOB
If our concern is faithfulness, it's a MINISTRY 

An average church is filled with people doing JOB 
A great and growing church is filled with people involved in MINISTRY
