I Corinthians 1:29 “…so that no one may boast before Him.”

One of the pit-falls of any ministry is that we start glorifying ourselves, not God.  Pride starts to push itself in…and soon our ego is searching for the limelight and honor.  II Corinthians 4:1 states, “Therefore, since through God’s mercy we have this ministry, we do not lose heart.”   It’s only because of God’s infinite compassion on us that we have any kind of ministry at all.  And it’s only because of the indwelling Holy Spirit empowering us that we can act as ambassadors, representing our Lord.  When a ministry glorifies God…and not our egos,  good things happen.
