I've been thinking about the definition of ministry - seems we can go to one extreme or the other. One says because I am a Christian everything I do is ministry because I'm doing it out of love (1 Cor. 16:14). The other says only those who are fully employed by a local church can do ministry.

So where is the middle ground?

Paul seems to imply something in 1 Cor. 7:32-35 when he says that a married man is divided between the things of the Lord and the things of his home. Do you think this means that I don't minister to my wife? At what point does a man fulfilling his responsibilities to his family cross the line between duty and ministry?
