God's evaluation of our ministries

God's evaluation of our ministries

"The world around us rates our ministries on the basis of the number of people who attend our churches and the magnificence of our buildings and programs.  As Jesus' Parable of the Talents reminds us, however, God rates us on the basis of faithfulness to him and diligent use of the gifts he has given us in the context in which he has placed us(Matthew 25:14-30).  ...  God doesn't evaluate ministry in the same way that the world does."
