IS IT A JOB OR A

MINISTRY?
“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.”

2
“If you quit because someone criticized you, it's a
job. If you keep on serving, it's a ministry.”

3
 “If you'll do it as long as it does not interfere with
your other activities, it's a job. If you are committed
to staying even if it means letting go of other things,
it's a ministry.”

4
“If you quit because no one thanked you or praised
you, it's a job. If you stick with it even though no
one recognized your efforts, it's a ministry.”

5
 “If your concern is success, it's a job. If your
concern is faithfulness and service, it's a ministry.”
