A job versus a ministry 

Someone has said there is a huge difference between having a job at church and having a ministry at church.
... If you are doing it because no one else will, it's a job.  If you are doing it to serve the Lord, it's a ministry.
... If you're doing it just well enough to get by, it's a job.  If you're doing it to the best of your ability, it's a ministry.
... If you'll do it only so long as it doesn't interfere with other activities, it's a job. 

If you're committed to staying with it even when it means letting go of other things, it's a ministry.
... It's hard to get excited about a job.  It's almost impossible not to get excited about a ministry.
An average church is filled with people doing jobs.  A great church is filled with people involved in ministry.
