Pastors are under so much pressure these days. They have so many things to do and so little time. Here’s a list of things you won’t be held accountable for. Keep this in mind when you’re making your schedule this week.
- The number of people at your last service
- The lameness of your website
- The size of your budget
- The coolness factor of your current sermon series
- The number of hours you worked
- The innovation of your tech ministry
- The cuteness of your kid’s choir
- The number of retweets you got
- The number of friends you’ve got on Facebook
- The smoothness of your service’s transitions
- The people you know
- The comfortableness of your seats
- The number of people who cried at the end of your messages
- The time you spent on your campus
- Your fluency in the original languages
These things aren’t bad, but Jesus never mentioned them. However, Jesus talked a lot about loving God and loving others.
