Precarious Pastoring

It doesn't matter if ministry is precarious in your Church. It doesn't matter if people tell you it should work properly or not at all. For example, under one of my ministries, there was a thriving Youth group. Typically there were twenty young people there, and on a good evening thirty to forty. For our area, that was outstanding. But the group was often on the brink of not working, and it was often criticised for that. But it was ministry, and it was important, and there were people who had the vision to do what they could with it, with God's help. OBSERVATION: As with this Youth group, so too with various ministries in the Church. I have commented on this blog that it is God's way to keep things precarious, so that we look to Him. If things are no longer precarious, one should perhaps be worried.
