Are you a pastor? Here’s a helpful quiz to test yourself. And if you aren’t a pastor here’s a reminder to pray for and help yours.
Are you overfuntioning?
-
Are you denying "the giftedness of the body of Christ"?
-
Are you playing "Holy Spirit in people’s lives"?
-
Are you failing to "let people wrestle with their own problems"?
-
Are you running "out of steam"?
This is the way Jim Meyer defines “Pastors Who Overfunction”.
Before you dismiss these questions you should go read the whole article for a little helpful self-examination.
Then pray for me that I won’t be this guy.
And tell me what you think in the comments below.
