With God, how you do something is as important as what you do.  It is possible to do the right thing in the wrong way or at the wrong time.  It is possible to perform a task God assigns but do it in such an ungodly manner that it actually harms the call of Christ rather than supporting it.  Doing things God’s way is critical.”
