The tools we use....

The tools we use to do the Lord's work were never meant to be worshiped.

Instead of the tools serving us -- given enough time we will end up serving the tools. Given enough time we end up pouring most of our resources into the tools. The tools we often use end up eating up all of our time, energy and resources.

An old friend of mine once said, "The more you own the more you have to maintain."

Tools of ministry are not always the friends we think they are. Tools of ministry can actually hinder God's redemptive work in the world.

lets rephrase a little:
Mundane tools hinder God's redemptive works, PROFANE tools hinders God's work, ANYTHING less than the Holiness of God is a hinderance. the tools given to us FROM HIM, are OF HIM, OF THE SPIRIT, and can demolish strongholds. let's keep the HOLY tools, and pitch the rest out
