STEWARDSHIP
A JOB OR A MINISTRY?
Some people have a JOB in the Church. Others involve themselves in MINISTRY. What is the difference? If you do it because no one else will, it’s a JOB. If you do it to serve God, it’s a MINISTRY. If you do it only as long as it doesn’t interfere with other things, it’s a JOB. If you’re committed to staying with it, even when it means letting other things go, it’s a MINISTRY. If you quit because someone criticized you, it was a JOB. If you kept on serving, it’s a MINISTRY. If you quit because no one ever praised or thanked you, it was a JOB. If you stay even though no one notices your efforts, it’s a MINISTRY. If you do it because someone else said it needs to be done, it’s a JOB. If you do it because you think it needs to be done, it’s a MINISTRY. Its hard to get excited about a JOB. It’s almost impossible not to get excited about a MINISTRY. A church may be filled with people doing a JOB… A great and caring church will be filled with people involved in MINISTRY.
STEWARDSHIP
We are one Universal Catholic Church as St. Paul says so beautifully: ”There are different kinds of spiritual gifts, but the same Spirit gives them. There are different ways of serving but the same Lord is served”
1 Cor. 12:4-5
