Job VS Ministry

Some people have a JOB in the church;
others involved 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 quiet because somebody criticised you, it's a JOB.
If you keep on serving, it's a MINISTRY.

If you will do it only as long as it does not interfere with your other activities, it's a JOB.
If you are committed to staying with it even if it means letting go of other things, it's a MINISTRY.

If you quit because no one praised you or thanked you, it is a JOB.
If you stay with it even though nobody recognises 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 your concern is success, it is a JOB.
If your concern is faithfulness, it is MINISTRY.

An average church (cellgroup) is filled with people doing JOBs.
A great and growing church (cellgroup) is filled with people involved in MINISTRY.
