What is ministry, exactly?
Is it a term for anything we use for anything related to official Christian church work? Is it serving and meeting the needs of people? Is it different from evangelism, or does one come under another? What is its scope? Where should it be done, how should it be done? What is ministry, that term we're so accustomed to in Christian "lingo", that seems to us to be another name for "work", just nicer and about helping people?
Can it be done by anyone? Where does "being a friend" end and "ministering" begin? What is it about, how can it be defined, baking cookies, writing notes, dancing and singing? Praying? Is it from God or for God? Or for people's needs? Worhip ministry, prayer ministry, ushing min. What does "ministering to God" mean, then?
What is ministry, exactly?
Do many of us even know, even those of us in 'ministries ourselves?
Cause it occurs for me that if it is to be my job and calling, I should probably figure out and learn what it is. I don't think it means "a job". It must be more, it must be deeper, but deeper in which way and where does it stem from and how does it work, really, exactly?
I'm gonna grab a nap and then maybe figure this out later. Goodnight. Haha.
Feel free to post your thoughts on the subject (:
