Quite a few years ago, we had a Pastor from another congregation working for us, because his congregation was unable to afford his salary. When the financial situation improved, he went back to full time ministry in his congregation. After a few months, he was back working for us. The financial situation of his congregation was continuing to improve, however, he felt that his ministry was suffering because he was only associating with the Church People. He needed, and required, meeting Mr. & Mrs. Average Citizen on their level, for his ministry to flourish in every other area.
We also appreciated the return of a valued employee.
This was truly, a Win, Win situation.
John 17:15-17
Just as I didn't join the world's ways.
I'm not asking that you take them out of the world
But that you guard them from the Evil One.
They are no more defined by the world
Than I am defined by the world.
Make them holy—consecrated—with the truth;
Your word is consecrating truth. (Message)
