Help NOT Wanted

Have you ever seen a sign in the window that declares “Help Wanted”?  What if the church had one but rather than help wanted it said “Help NOT Wanted”.   It might look like this:

Help Not Wanted

Manager: A person that will not do any work themselves but will tell everyone else how to do it and keep them in line.

Critic: They will make sure and point out everything that is not up to their personal standards.

Score Keeper: They will keep a detailed list of every slight someone in the church may have given them.

Reporter: This job is to make sure that everyone knows everyone else’s business 

Judge: This person will make sure to look down on everyone else

Historian:  They will help everyone remember how much better thing were “back in the day”.

While these jobs make be good and vital in the business world, they are not very productive in The Lord’s Kingdom. Before we sing up for these or any other job let’s ask ourselves, “How will this benefit the church” and never choose to do anything that be any real help.
