Here's an article churches should consider when it comes to employing their own on a pro-bono basis. Church web-designers, clerks, bathroom cleaning volunteers, graphic designers, secretaries etc. often delight in serving for free (and many wouldn't have it any other way). However they can often feel overlooked, taken for granted and taken advantage of when no mention or thought is given to any compensation for their time and talents which they could easily be exerting elsewhere for monetary gain. "Whoever wishes to become great among you must become the servant of all" should be paired along with "the worker is worth his wages."

Thanks for sharing my post. It's gotten thousands of visits.
I'm sharing this link with our fellowship group this week as an aid to our bible study in Amos... We're discussing ways the people of God (and/or a nation) can fall into the trap of complacently ripping others off to our own advantage. Thanks for the appropriate example.
