The Gospel of Paul

Paul says we minister for an audience of one. We live to please him. The fear of man brings a snare. It puts us in bondage. And if human praise unduly inflates you then the criticism of others will devastate you. So live for the praise of God, not the praise of men. Being in ministry isn't being a babysitter it's being a parent with that sense of having your own children. You can never get away from these kids because they don't belong to somebody else.
