The Danger of Familiarity
One of the main dangers in ministry is familiarity, where the truths of God become so normal and typical that they lose their impact and fail to excite. BB Warfield warned about the danger of familiarity, stating that we can become bored with God. When we lose our awe of God, it affects our motivation, choices, and priorities. The challenge lies in recognizing that ministry is not just about knowledge and skill, but also about the condition of our hearts. We must be aware of the dangers of familiarity and the impact it can have on our ministry.
