THE MINISTRY The foundation of ministry is CHARACTER,not a professional skill. The nature of ministry is SERVICE, not being served. The motive for ministry is LOVE, not money or power. The measure of ministry is SACRIFICE, not success. The authority of ministry is SUBMISSION, not pulling rank. The purpose of ministry is TO GLORIFY GOD,not to glorify ourselves. The tools of ministry are PRAYER AND SCRIPTURES, not marketing handbooks. The power of ministry is THE HOLY SPIRIT, not programs. The model of ministry is JESUS CHRIST.
