"In response to the question, “What is the biggest challenge for Christian ministers in the 21st century?’ Dr. J. I. Packer answered; “I think every minister must insist that each member of his congregation be involved in ministry. Then the local church can become a body of serving people and united as a team of ministers. We have too many people who say, ‘I support the church with my money, and I’m there on Sunday. What more do you want of me?’ The answer of course is, ‘We want a great deal more of you! Have you awakened to the fact that you are in ministry? Are you trying to take responsibility to help someone else move forward spiritually?’ .... everyone has a spiritual ministry to and responsibility for other people.”"
