Put bluntly, the main reason we undervalue many important ministries is worldliness. The world looks for human recognition (Compare Matthew 6:1-6, 16-18; 23:2-12, 27-18; Luke 6:22-26). We do lip service, for example, to the power of prayer, yet view an evangelist basking in the limelight more favorably than the prayer-wrestler hidden in the back room. We exalt the virile missionary and sneer at the withered old lady whose paltry dollars God multiplied to carry that missionary to the field. If were blinded by carnality, heaven isnt. To measure success in terms of human acclaim is to serve man, not God. Your average evangelist steals glory for soul-winning from those who prayed, witnessed and worked the miracle of enticing non-Christians to a Christian meeting. Many of the evangelists converts either found Christ before he arrived or through counseling after he left. Though few preachers are deliberate glory thieves, there will be many reversals in the next life.
