Delegate Work

Acts 6:3 “Brothers, choose seven men from among you who are known to be full of the Spirit and wisdom.  We will turn this responsibility over to them and will give our attention to prayer and the ministry of the word.” In every Christian church there are faith filled and wise members.  Their skills are often not used either wisely or at all and the entire ministry is placed on the pastor’s shoulders and it becomes too much for him.  It is said that between 35-50 % of pastors under 45 years old quit because of stress and burnout. A church can easily change those statistics by incorporating the talents of members in the church’s work.  The New Testament church recognized this fact. Have a great weekend.
