Ok This Is Cool…

It’s 5:53 am and it’s almost time to start waking up kids to get ready for school when I get this deep seated craving for a Venti Green Tea Latte…so with pajama’s on I jump into the glory van and head for the local Starbucks that is about a block away. I pull into the drive thru and in less than 5 minutes I’m pulling back into my garage with my Latte in hand.
I choose to believe that the Starbucks drive thru window was created just for me…

Brother Craig on the Swerve Blog is running a great series of posts on breaking barriers. He deals with a lot of different requirements for Church growth.
Generally speaking, the longer your church has been beneath a barrier, the more dramatic step it will take to break through the barrier. If some small change would make the difference, you would have made that a long time ago.
Questions You Must Ask:
- Do we really want to change?
- Are we prepared to lose some people to reach more people?
- Would I be willing to resign my spot if that is what it took?
I would only add one question…why do you want to reach more people? It’s hard to have right results when you have wrong motives. A lot of what fuels some preachers is the desire for success, not a desire to see God’s will done in the earth.
Crowds are not the measure of success, dependence on the Holy Ghost and walking out the Fathers will by faith is. The external success will come as a result of our successful relationship with Jesus.
