In Day 26 “Guard Yourselvesâ€, while reading this part, I was reminded of my church ministry more than 10 years ago. I was in a pastoral meeting. During the break time, I heard most of the pastors in that meeting discussing how they were talking about other churches offering high salary, great benefits, long vacation time off and retirement pension. I was pastoring a church that had no benefits, pension, two weeks of vacation and sometimes they would give me only half of the salary. But this chapter has stirred up my heart to do a serious self-evaluation. Was I going for the money? Am I doing ministry for the money and benefits? Will I, in the future be able to keep myself away from serving God because of wealth? Or I am going to serve God because of out of love for Him? Oh Lord, help me to serve You because I love You. No other desire that I want! |
