Why Patience is Essential in Ministry
Patience in the Christian sense includes receptivity to God’s will and acceptance of God’s timing. In today’s microwave culture, we have almost entirely lost this virtue. The other day I learned that when designing a website we need to plan on people’s attention span being 10-20 seconds long. If we haven’t caught people’s attention by then, they’re gone and off to the next thing. How true! And yet how sad that the same impatience spreads to our faith life and ministry.
