Why do some busy themselves in minor matters when they should be studying, meditating, and waiting on the Lord in prayer. I believe it's because they are more interested in performance and success than they are in maturity. Many pastors believe that preaching is the number one priority of their ministries, but it's also the one thing they feel least capable of doing well. I believe that they are confusing success with maturity. Success means to them that they must always see results immediately, whereas matuirity teaches you that you are responsible to plant the seed and give God time to let the seed germinate.
Human personality can only change as one matures in the Word of God.
If you are more interested in success than you are in maturity, then you will never be a productive minister. If our goal is constant success, and we never concentrate on maturity, the emotional traumas of the ministry will destroy us. Maturity helps us to keep everything in perspective, and in the time of difficulty we will conquer and endure.
