Self-knowledge is hard to come by. The proverb know thyself is often praised but seldom practiced. The same holds true for church ministries. The pressure for evaluation is felt from all sides but, for several reasons, evaluation isnt easy.
- An honest evaluation of our own work is difficult because were often too close to the trees to see the forest.
- Daily preoccupation with ministry concerns can make us function orientedlike the two stonemasons who were asked, What are you doing? One replied, laying bricks, the other, building a beautiful temple. If our vision is limited to just doing thingsone, after another, after anotherevaluation will be largely statistical.
- Theres also the problem of finding suitable assessment instruments, especially for small-town or rural churches. Most questionnaires are tilted toward the larger church and, as a result, are ill-suited for churches in low-density areas.
