Today there was another excellent post from Perry Noble. I promise that one of these days I will quit regurgitating Perry’s post and come up with something original. Really! It seems that Perry Noble and I are dealing with the same issues right now.
Perry is speaking of his staff this morning and his first point is that they have a “whatever, whenever” attitude. They will do what they have to do to get the job done. I have to admit that many times I’m not that person but usually that is because someone has been lacking on point #2 of Perry’s post. Point #2 states that to Perry’s staff excellence is a consuming passion. They are not content with half way doing ministry. Unfortunately many times my attitude is adversely affected by someone’s laziness and lack of planning. It is as simple as that. I am absolutely thrilled that people want to reach people for Christ but wanting and doing are two different things. We are accumulating ministries faster than flies at a dinner on the grounds but are we doing these ministries with excellence. Are we giving the effort that our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ expects and deserves from us in these ministries? I’m all for reaching out to our community to show Christ and tell of His love for them. Jesus also had this same compassion for the people around Him and He also knew that there would be few to go out reach these people. We must first plan and ask for workers before we can go into the harvest field. Read Matthew 9:35-38 and then also read Perry’s post Some Thoughts on Staffing.
