A Job or a Ministry?

Some people have a JOB in the church;
Others involve themselves in a MINISTRY.

What is the difference?

If you are doing it 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 ministry.

If you quit because no one praised you or thanked you, it was a job.
If you stay with it even though nobody recognized your efforts, it's ministry.
If you do it only as long as it does not interfere with 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 ministry.

The average church is filled with people doing jobs.
A great church is filled with people involved in ministry.
If GOD calls you to ministry, don't treat it like a job.
If you have a job, consider giving it up to find a ministry.
GOD wants people who are excited and faithful to HIM in ministry.
