quit

Until the day comes that you hear that shout from Jesus Christ, don’t quit on others, don’t quit on yourself, and most certainly do not quit on God!

One of the effects of the past year is an unprecedented number of ministers saying they are considering quitting vocational ministry.

When we allow our desire for perfectionism to shut us down spiritually, we are actually standing in our own way. We’re cutting ourselves off from our only hope for spiritual growth and formation, and we ultimately decide that if we can’t seek God in our own, “perfect” way, then we won’t seek Him at all.

It has been said often the leaders are readers.  This is true.  But unbeknownst to many people entering leadership, they soon learn leaders are also bleeders. And that leads to pastors who want to quit.

While some leaders quit for good reasons, most quit for reasons that are completely avoidable.

Some of you are wondering whether to quit your jobs. Some of you are wondering whether to quit ministries you have within your local church. You’re discouraged and you’re ready to give up. Should you?
