Idolatry in Christian Ministry

From Matt Harmon:

"...in the context of Philippians 1:12-26 Paul provides the necessary corrective: to have as our highest aim the proclamation of the gospel of Jesus Christ. So the question for each of us involved in ministry is this: do you care who gets the credit? Are you fine with others being recognized for their faithful gospel ministry while your own proclaiming of Christ remains under appreciated or recognized? What happens in your heart when someone else receives credit for something YOU did? Can you be content with rejoicing in the progress of the gospel rather than nursing resentment that you did not receive the recognition."

When to let the balls drop

This is solid advice from two seasoned pastors on how to balance work and family (though it's geared towards pastors, it's totally applicable regardless of vocation). I need to listen to these again and again...
