“Pull, Nellie, Pull”
Try pulling by yourself - it’s hard. Just like Ministry. Ministry is amazingly satisfying. Ministry is amazingly hard. And we tend to make it harder than it really should be.
When approached in the wrong way, ministry will burn us out. But God designed it differently. His design was to make it amazingly encouraging - but only when we approach it as the Ultimate Team Sport. No Lone Ranger Christians. Today as we come to Acts 18, there is a transition where we see Paul worn out by ministry - but God is good and reminds us how ministry SHOULD operate. And eventually, Paul would experience the equivalent to a Pastors Retreat...though the city in which it happens doesn’t seem the likeliest of places for a spiritual rejuvenation. Let’s talk a bit about Corinth.
