I totally agree with you. I also have struggled with getting involved in ministry. I have realized that doing nothing DOES KILL. Not only will that particular ministry die but also those to whom you should minister. I really hope this will be a challenge to everyone who reads this to take the medication of Zeal in Christ and forever kill the "nothingness" Disease. God Bless you all!

You're so right! It's a BROAD, but very interesting topic none-the-less. The part of it that I'm commenting on in particular, is that "Doing nothing kills". I think that not only does it kill you, but it kills everything else around you as well.

Lemme explain - I think you were more talking about how the "nothingmylifeis" disease slowly eats you out inside, devouring your zeal and desire and sense of purpose... but I'd also want to throw in there that it affects the people who are already out there trying to do SOMETHING! I think that no matter how much passion and zeal you have, working hard at your ministry... if it's one of those ministries that does need the support (as most ministries do), but you just can't get it because everyone else seems to be afflicted by the disease... the ministry is eventually going to die?

Why? Well because it affects the succession planning, no one person, or set of persons can indefinitely run or lead a ministry... and so that's my two cents, the "nothingness" is to ministry what a Blackhole is to spaceships and satellites.
