When your ministry vision becomes a grind


I visited a colleagues's blog today (he's a pastor), and saw that it had become the equivalent of a twitter feed.

In fact, it was a twitter feed – I recall seeing the same posts on Twitter.

I'm curious to ask: In the long run, has his desire to write become part of the grind? Has what was once exciting become a chore? How does he sustain his passion for writing?

Of course, life's like that, for both church leaders and volunteers. While the pastors and teachers are the gifts to the church for equipping the saints (Ephesians 4:11-13), we need to remember to encourage our leaders... we need more sharp individuals and fewer dullards in the church.
