Have we lost the idea that ministry is hard? The idea of the Church militant, that is, the church fighting against sin, evil, and Satan’s kingdom, was rediscovered in the Reformation. Paul’s life is given completely for this purpose of proclaiming the Gospel and maturing the church. This was his passion. Are we willing to suffer for the ministry? Are we willing to be inconvenienced for Jesus? Where do you need to let go of your rights, your comforts, and what you want for the sake of the lost and your church?
