What is the cost of "makeshift solutions" that will eventually deteriorate? Yes, the job is done faster, progress can be made instantly, but if we do not build as an "expert builder" using the right materials with careful planning, so goes longevity and sustained usage and the growth of commerce from one side of the bridge to the other.
When an organization begin to use "quick fixes" to get things accomplished without regard for longevity, it is a good sign to reconsider your commitment to its tenets. Is what I'm working for a temporary fix that will lead to a permanent solution or am I applying a temporary fix to a problem that will always look for quick fixes for this problem?
Regardless if this is ministry or running an organization, a leader knows where the temporary fix should be applied and when it is wiser to wait to properly plan a permanent solution.
On another note, I like pastors and leaders who use creativity and add a bit of humor in their communication. Ed Young, Jr. is a gifted communicator but I think his true asset is his high leadership acumen.
