The day of the superstar is over - or at least it is fading - fast. God has little use for superstars to advance His growing Kingdom. If you're 'real,' you'll do.
N. Cole has said: 'The church has become so complicated that to pull it off takes a rare person who is a professional. When church becomes so difficult it is taken out of the common Christian's hands and placed in the hands of a few talented people, the result is a passive church whose members come and go more like spectators than empowered agents of God's Kingdom.'
Ministry doesn't require some great call or great gift. It resides in us all. When a church orients ministry around the professionals, the organization becomes imbalanced. This isn't God's plan. As a pastor moves toward equipping and preparing the 'real' ministers, the whole organization moves toward greater health and effectiveness.
This is the path of KFA (www.kenoshafirst.com).
And be blessed.
