How do you know if you are accomplishing anything of value in the work you do? We are entrusted with the words of eternal life and it's important that we be effective in our job.

I'm passing this on in PDF format so you can print it out and pass it on to others on your church staff and hopefully start a discussion that will make you all more effective. To download the article CLICK HERE or on the image.
