Telling it straight

Here is something that I never anticipated about myself in ministry. I have become very short of patience with those who I believe are evading God's call. I find myself lecturing people on the necessity of getting their act together and taking the plunge into whatever it seems they are evading. Perhaps I wish someone had done it with me, but I think it is more that we really need people to be obedient and to make the sacrifices that are required to do God's work. I hope I don't push too hard so that I break something.
