What does the Bible say about the dangers of ministry?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible warns that ministry can expose one to unique dangers, including pride and opposition.

Scripture alludes to the inherent dangers of taking on the ministry. For instance, Paul cautions Timothy in 1 Timothy 4:16 to take heed to himself and to his doctrine, highlighting that a minister's character is crucial to their effectiveness. The role requires constant vigilance, especially against pride that can arise from popularity or opposition. Failure to remain humble can lead to spiritual pitfalls that may harm not only the minister but also those they are called to serve.
