I have been witness to this happening on many an occasion. It may not have been the intent, but it was the inevitable outcome.
I have seen pastors, ministry workers, and volunteers alike get so caught up in trying to create, engineer or copy excellence so much that the heart of what needs to be communicated is lost, or worse still, the Holy Spirit has been squelched and not allowed to move freely. Thus, all being done in vain and usually accompanied by strife and discord.
This rule and rule #1 have a lot in common in the fact that Christ should always be the center of anything we do in ministry.
So remember....being best is not always better! Give the Holy Spirit room to work.
