Admin? Activities? MInistry?

From the duration that i was missing from this blog you would probably know how i come to this thought. well it has been 8 months since i join the church in full time ministry, for the past few months we have been quite tied up with activities after activities. and i fully agree what our dear bro daniel who said that ministry is about ministering to the brokeness of people, i see myself lacking in that sense.

Many a times when the church grows larger, its leaders would tend to be more and more busy. but what are they busy about?
Most of the time i see leaders busy with meetings, paper work, administration and creating a system... especially so in the setting of a prebyterian church where there is an unsaid system where elders are to take care of spiritual matters and the deacons are the administrator doing paper work and arrangement. Yes this is a biblical foundation of church "organisation" recorded in Acts 6:1-4, where the apostles are too busy with the ministry of the Word of God so therefore selected 7 to serve the needs of the widows among the Grecian Jews but busy church leaders have miss the point, the seven was selected not to ease the administration work of the apostles but to serve the needs among the believers whom they cannot handle. at the end of the day it is still ministering to the needs of people whether is spiritual, physical, emotional or intellectual needs.

sometimes it seems so machenical.... where are the humans?
