Great post! Reminded me of something I listened to recently and my husband listened to just last night - a message by Mark Driscoll entitled Ministry Idolatry given at Advance 09 recently. While it was directed at an audience of mostly pastors, it should speak to each and every one of us as Pastor Mark explains how "a good thing can become a god thing and then it's a bad thing" because it takes us away from worshiping God. It can be found here: http://www.desiringgod.org/ResourceLibrary/ConferenceMessages/ByConference/45/3968_Ministry_Idolatry/. Blessings, Elke
