- If I am not disciplined in my physical, emotional and spiritual life I cannot be the pastor I need to be. I will be less than effective if I ignore my own personal health.
- As a leader I need to follow God's unique plan for our church and not try to duplicate what someone else is doing
- Most often when a person is not happy about something at a church it's because they either don't understand the vision, don't embrace the vision or I haven't done a good job sharing the vision. When a person understands that our church is focused on the unchurched it helps them understand why we do the things we do.
- Being a portable church is awesome...I can't see us ever moving on from this. I was reminded how much being portable defines so much of what we do. I love church at the theatre.
- Do I really repent of my sin? Or do I just feel sorry for my sin? There is a difference. When I repent I realize that I am helpless, in total need of God's forgiveness and life changing power in my life.
- I was reminded how important it is to be very honest those who just don't get our vision. I think that people honestly think our whole church will change to please them. The people that attend the Falls are the church and the church is for those who have yet to come to Christ. We need people that have a heart for those who don't know Jesus. We need people that our are selfless and focused on others. The good news, we have bunch of them.
- In addition to hearing some great speakers I also spent time with some friends and made some new friends. I am very thankful for my time spent with pastors. We are a weird bunch and we really need each other...only another pastor can really understand what makes a pastor tick.
Looking forward to this Sunday. We continue our series Desperate Sex Lives. This week we look at the lies that married couples buy into. It will be a great day!
