Children’s leaders and pastors work long hours and devote much time to serving God in children’s ministry. Most children’s leaders motives are pure. They are doing what they do because God has called them to one of the most important ministries in the Kingdom of God. How then could children’s ministry become an idol?
Here are seven questions to ask yourself if you suspect Kidmin has become an idol in your life.
Do you only study the Bible to prepare a Children’s Sermon?
Is growth of your children’s ministry your measure in how much God loves or favors you?
Do you have downtime from children’s ministry?
Do you pray more or only when you have a children’s ministry event or service?
When you read “this one thing I do” in Scripture, do you immediately think of all you do for children’s ministry?
Do you have a vision or passion for children’s ministry that surpasses your passion for God?
Do you pray and fast to grow closer to God or to get God to grow the children’s ministry?
