What does it mean to pay the rent? I was told that in order to have the opportunity to pursue a new and better form of ministry that I had to do it in addition to "paying the rent" by trying to resurrect forms of ministry that have not been working for years. I'm not bothered by this . . . it's just that if I'm supposed to pay the rent, then perhaps I should be paying for a better apartment. The retort, of course, is that I am responsible to make it a better apartment. While this may be true in some regards, I'm not sure whether paying the rent for a building infested with termites is a good value.
