In a previous post, I attempted to provide, in my opinion, a fair illustration of the collision between my "faith" and "secular" work. Over the years I was able to see and feel the crossover of the diametrically opposed worlds until, finally, I understood my reality. I was ministering...period. I was serving as a Disciple of Christ to the unsaved, unsavory world as well as to the, at times, reluctant and confused church.
Within this work, my scales began to fall and I understood moreover that, "..he that is greatest among you shall be your servant..." The Word of God provide crucial details of how important service is to your neighbor and community. Continue to read the old and new testaments-service is themed throughout.
As a nonprofit professional, there is not a more substantive manual and program report for service than that within our and THE Word of God. The cannon is chock full of policies, procedures and tasks. It provides background research, service impact reports, and of course best practices, insurance policies, and indeed how to complete procurement requests.
This stated, our attitudes toward service reflects our satisfaction (spiritual contentment) with the many blessings of God (grace) and there is [should be] an undeniably strong sense of duty in response to the grace that abounds in our lives.
Spiritual efficacy is not only one's belief in God and his power, but one's belief in the possession of such power from the Holy Spirit!
In ministry, understanding and building a believer's spiritual efficacy is crucial to the creation of intrinsic motivation to serve.
