MY PERSONAL CODE OF MINISTRY
1. WHO I AM IS MORE IMPORTANT TO GOD THAN WHAT I DO.
The quality of my ministry will never rise above the quality of my character.
2. BEING TRUE TO MYSELF IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN TRYING TO MEET OTHER PEOPLE'S EXPECTATIONS.
3. MY FAMILY IS MY FIRST PRIORITY OF MINISTRY.
4. I WILL GIVE MYSELF SOME ROOM FOR FAILURE.
Perfectionism is a dead end street. I don't have to be perfect to be worthwhile. "Winners are not those who never fail, but those who never give up." (L. Cole)
5. WHERE I AM GOING IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN WHERE I HAVE BEEN. I refuse to be bound by my past. Every day is a new adventure.
6. MY PERSONAL WALK WITH CHRIST IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN MY PUBLIC WORK FOR HIM. First and foremost I am a personal disciple of Jesus Christ.
7. RELATIONSHIPS ARE MORE IMPORTANT THAN THINGS.
The two most valuable commodity that I have are time and relationships.
8. GOD'S WILL IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN MY PERSONAL AGENDA.
9. HOW I TREAT OTHERS IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN HOW I AM TREATED.
10. MY LEISURE/CREATIVE TIME AND RECREATION ARE JUST AS IMPORTANT TO GOD AS MY MINISTERIAL ACTIVITIES.
11. I WILL FOCUS EACH DAY ON THE IMPORTANT AND AVOID THE TYRANNY OF THE URGENT
Stay tuned. There will probably be a "part two" of this code in the future.
