"Ministries have expiration dates"

"By the way, I think the same goes for every ministry in our churches. Once it serves it's purpose, please kill it. Don't let it die one of those embarrassing deaths! Ministries have expiration dates. Once you pass the date, it can actually be hazardous to your health and become counter-productive. Certain committees can cause more harm than good if you let them exist forever! Alright, most committees! Just kidding. Sort of."
