The GamblerYou got to know when to hold em, know when to fold em,
Know when to walk away and know when to run.

If you have a great relationship with the Holy Spirit, then you probably have some very clear ideas for your ministry. Maybe you are here because you can’t get anyone to go along with your dreams. Perhaps, it is to gain solace from seeing the suffering that others are going through, just the way you are suffering.

Before we go much further in our diagnostic, it’s time to pray and seek God for an answer to this prayer: Father, has my assignment here expired? Is it time for me to fold up my tent and move on? Have I fulfilled by assignment in this place, that is what we are asking!

Because if your assignment is over, you may as well leave. Not much ministry fruitfulness is going to follow. Uh, one final note: I may have been overly ambitious with yesterday’s assignment, to come up with 20 unique expressions, sorry, my bad. Let’s narrow it down to three unique expressions that your church brings to your community. Email me your list to charlie@kindness.com.
