Just say No!

I read something great recently about life in church ministry. If you are in it, you will be able to relate.

The Church can often be the worst at expecting more of us than God has called us to shoulder. No is an acceptable answer. If you are in a leadership role at your church or in the corporate world, it will always push you beyond your own limits, but just be careful that it doesn’t push you over the edge.
Ed Young, our pastor, is a phenomenal leader, and one thing that he challenges leadership with often is, "don't tell me what you are doing, but tell me what you are not doing". He says this to remind us that sometimes you have to cut some things or say NO to grow and be a healthy leader, organization and church.
