If ministry can be accomplished alone it lacks biblical value; if it is not fun it misses biblical perspective.
Some of Dave’s best writing to date over at our Redeeming Church Conflicts blog:
How to Preserve Your Pastor (Part 7): Sharing Ministry … With Friends
This is dedicated to my new friends. Especially my new pastor friends. You know who you are. I couldn’t help but think of you as I read these words from (my spiritual father and dear friend), Dave Edling:
“Pastor Bob’s experience was never a lack of those seeking to share neither ministry with him or a lack of friends because he had the vision to have fun with his many friends as they undertook something bigger than any one of them could accomplish alone. Vision casting does that. If ministry can be accomplished alone it lacks biblical value; if it is not fun, it misses biblical perspective.“
