1st of all, Thank you for welcoming me. 2nd, I appreciate anyone who takes the time to reply to my comments and questions. Thirdly, i dont perform, i minister. Lol...
Let me preface this by saying , "I'm not tryin to get at you by no means.(welcome, BTW)"
But
why do Christians have a programmed aversion to the word "Perform"? Is something WRONG with "performing"? If you audition for someone do we say, I dont perform? I think not. If a Christian on broadway 'performs' is he wrong? Not likely.
Getting the big head is the problem. Being boastful in yourself is a problem. actin like 'Im the man, hear my runs" is a problem. Vain glory.
But having a desire to "execute the work that you put in in order to acheive a level of exellence" i.e PERFORM...Nothing wroing with that.
You can be humble, Godly, minister, AND STILL PERFORM.
my 2 cent...
Sometime i think we're too churchy for our own good.
