Comments on: The Ministry Tool Balance http://churchm.ag/the-ministry-tool-balance/ Exploring the Intersection of Church and Technology Thu, 09 Feb 2012 21:00:57 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: klreed189 http://churchm.ag/the-ministry-tool-balance/#comment-38040 klreed189 Fri, 11 Sep 2009 16:12:20 +0000 http://churchcrunch.com/?p=6570#comment-38040 Good point and call to our tools of communication. What strikes me about this post is the niche that we often paint ourselves in. This idea that comes to my mind is the type of ministry that finds success (like your friend with the human drama) and continues to play off of that and never let it go. Honestly I think the main reason behind this is because they found success, they found that it worked and people like what they were doing. Often times it I think it is easy to become a one trick pony, constantly relying on what you know and what you do well. But I like your call at the end there, "Be sure that when you’re ministering to people, stay fluid, stay flexible, and learn to be OK with trying things out of your comfort zone." Very challenging thought. Letting go of the fear is the first step. Good point and call to our tools of communication.
