I've found that we often use guilt because it's faster and quicker than taking the time to motivate. Pictures of poor kids must be processed in black and white because it gets a stronger response....but the results are short-lived. I'm on the field with several people that serve out of guilt....and they motivate out of guilt. I don't do guilt (unless it's related to my sin). I think we connect with a different aspect of mankind when we offer humanity the chance to do something huge and life-changing. Erwin McManus has done an incredible job of building a movement based on believing in people rather than leading through guilt. God doesn't call all of us to the same field and China is no more important than Denmark. Enough of the guilt...Jesus didn't do it...neither will I! Amen Ernest!

There are crowns waiting for this kind of service. Thanks for putting this important subject together in an understandable way.
