Overview

How do we keep our attitude of entitlement from damaging our relationship with God and our commitment to ministry? And how do we cope—and lead—when the rewards we feel we deserve are few or nonexistent? It’s easy for us to develop a sense of entitlement that we carry into our spiritual lives. We operate under the unspoken assumption that our hard work for God’s kingdom will always lead to spiritual and ministry success. Explore a biblical perspective regarding attitudes of entitlement.
