I read something about Job vs Ministry and I think it may be nice to share with others

Some people have a JOB in the church;others involve themselves in a MINISTRY. What is 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 critized you, it was a JOB.
If you keep on serving, it’s a MINISTRY.

If you’ll do it only as it does not interfere with your other activities,
it’s a JOB.
If you are committed to staying with it even when it means letting go of ther 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 JOBs.
A great and growing church is filled with people involved in MINISTRY.

Where do we fit in? What about us?

If God calls you to a MINISTRY, don’t treat it like a JOB.
if you have a JOB, give it up and find a MINISTRY.

God does not want us feeling stuck with a JOB, but excited and faithful to HIM in MINISTRY.

Anyone have their opinions??
 
the distinction could apply to any career, not just that within the Church or social service structure.
