When not to resign

This morning Warren Weirsbe continued his discussion of leaving a ministry (in the book "On Being A Servant of God"). He says (70), "It's the law of the Medes and Persians that we never resign when (1) we're tired and discouraged, (2) we aren't getting our way, or (3) we feel unappreciated and we're looking for some strokes."

Darnit. Well, actually that's really good advice. There were two other quotes I liked. On 69 he said, "When unity becomes uniformity, it's time for a blood transfusion." He was talking about having the same people on the board all the time. Sometimes there needs to be a change. The last thing you want is to be surrounded by "yes-men." And on 71 he says, "It's amazing how much God can accomplish if His workers don't care who gets the credit."

Good stuff.
