But do titles really matter?
When people introduce me at a lecture or seminar, I’m almost always asked what my title is. Without missing a beat, I respond with, Diva Extraordinaire. That’s a good one for today, right? [One day I will grow up. Promise.] I cringe when I’m introduced as Reverend or Bishop or Pastor. I’m neither of those.
I’m not a Minister, but I minister. I’m not a Counselor, but I counsel. I’m not a Saint, but I’m a saint. And with a simple change from a capital letter to a lowercase letter, the difference is made. Because really, titles are simply capitalized letters to clarify organizational structure. I get it. Really, I do.
When God calls us, He doesn’t give us titles. But since we’re a culture that loves hierarchy, I’ll play along.
You want to change your college? Here’s your desk placard: University Changer. You want to change your work? Here’s your door sign: Director of Life Influence. You want to change your family? Here’s your title: Chief Domestic Operator. There. Do you feel better? 😉
Now go make the change you’re suppose to. With or without a title. Because really, David wasn’t a King until he fought, Peter wasn’t a Water Walker until he stepped out of the boat, and Miriam wasn’t a Worship Leader until she began to worship.
Great info!
Good day! Would you mind if I share your blog with my myspace group? There’s a lot of folks that I think would really appreciate your content. Please let me know. Many thanks
Once I originally commented I clicked the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and now every time a remark is added I get 4 emails with the identical comment. Is there any manner you can remove me from that service? Thanks!
Undeniably believe that which you stated. Your favorite reason appeared to be at the net the easiest thing to keep in mind of. I say to you, I certainly get irked even as people consider worries that they plainly do not recognise about. You managed to hit the nail upon the highest and outlined out the whole thing with no need side-effects , other folks can take a signal. Will probably be again to get more. Thanks
