Guitar Hero Ministry Mentality
March 25th, 2009 If my generation isn’t careful, we may fall into a Guitar Hero mentality toward ministry:
Everybody wants to be a rock star, but no one wants to learn the chords.

Aspiring ministers:
Be willing to pay the price. Or please go do something else with your life.
