Keep Watch on Yourself

"Give yourself for the well-being of the whole church. Does this mean you agree with everyone? Well, of course not. Does this mean that you are happy about everything? Of course not - but it does mean that your hope and your heart is for the good and the well-being of the whole church. If you become embittered or angry against a part of the church, you will end up reacting against it, defining yourself by what you're against - 'We're not this, we're not this, we're not this, we're not this,' - and pretty soon, the Gospel, the person and work of Jesus, is not the compelling, defining variable in your ministry, but who or what you're against, annoyed by, or agitated by, and that's not good." - Mark Driscoll
