1.  I do it all the time.  And addressing “haters” that you or your ministry have does nothing more than refuel and celebrate your those who are opposed to you.
2.  Being jealous of someone else’s ministry does 2 things.
a.  It shows God you are unthankful for the ministry He has for you.
b.  It shows the people you minister to that there are others more valuable to minister to than them.
3.  God isn’t going to be as pleased by your amazing sermon, your unreal new worship song, or your 4500 retweets as He will when you simply take time to walk with Him.
4.  Your addiction to your closet sin (gossip, pornography, deceit, alcoholism, cats, ect.) will only be fixed by God centered devotion.  Not anything else.
5.  20 people attending your church and hearing about Jesus > 1000 people coming to your church and learning how to have a better marriage.

It’s better that way.

      No. It came from my response to haters.

    Hearing about Jesus is how I learned to have a better marriage

    Thanks for the reminder to keep all things under Christ and for His glory. Being the land “all things bigger, newer, brighter, and re-tweetable – aka Charlotte, I needed the reminder. The faces in front of me are the faces God gave me to minister. Ten or Ten to the six power..does not matter. What matters is my faithfulness to those he gave me to minister and be ministered to by.
