There are many measuring sticks people use to determine success.
Too often people measure success by the size of their bank account, possessions, talent, and, sadly, even appearance.
As Christians our gauge should be the person’s spirituality, specifically: Christlikeness.
Even in considering members for church ministry, leaders often use measuring sticks such as availability, church attendance, church work ethic, etc… when assessing a person’s suitability for a ministry position.
Certainly, these are important qualities, but they should be regarded as the most basic of traits of a devoted Christian rather than primary determinations of success or leadership.
