More excerpts from Bob Lupton’s book Toxic Charity.
Under the Heading Bad Business Equals Bad Ministry:
“Summerhill needed true friends and partners, not soft-hearted volunteers, friends good enough to clearly define roles and expectations, partners with whom to negotiate responsible if/then contingencies.” .”..no strings attached service needs some strings attached.”
Unselfish investment should:
- never be mindless
- never be irresponsible
- always calculate the cost
- always consider the outcome
- always be a partnership
Luke 14:28 “Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Won’t you first sit down and estimate the cost to see if you have enough money to complete it?”
