The key to healthy churches is simple:

Are God’s gifts to you about advancing your ministry …

Or about advancing His wonderfully diverse gifts in others?


“Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.” 1 Peter 4:10

“Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.” Philippians 2:3-4
