in ministry? beware!

“Those Christians who have a public ministry are most in danger of falling into trouble, because they can easily be tempted to listen to the applause and praise of men. If you are a preacher, beware! You must cry out and ask God to help you listen only to his voice, not to the crowds of people who pat you on the back and place you on a pedestal. God’s principles are often the opposite of our own. While we hope people will like and accept us, Jesus taught, ‘Woe to you when all men speak well of you’ (Luke 6:26).

“Never be satisfied with God’s calling or his gifts in your life. Be satisfied with Jesus Christ himself” (Brother Yun)
