Near and Far Faith

It's too easy to become prideful in your position in ministry - be it voluntary or paid staff. It becomes yours. To keep this from happening, I've found what's most successful is to try to work yourself out of a job. Give away your position as often as possible and delight in the outcome no matter what because if nothing else you're giving someone a chance to serve.

I'm eager to give away worship leading responsibility, teaching times, and even discipleship chances to others. If I hold too tight, I'm getting in the way of someone's opportunity to grow through service.
