Got back late last night from the Unleash Conference at NewSpring Church in Anderson, South Carolina. It was great. In today's devotion, I just want to give you some blips from my notes and pray that you will get just a little inspiration and a little light from my vision for The Community Fellowship. Thanks for your prayers and for reading these daily thoughts. Here are those notes:
"Church is a confusing place when you don't know the rules. Some say, if you don't play by our rules, to hell with you." (think about being a visitor and getting so confused by a Catholic, Presbyterian or Baptist service."
"Most visitors make up their mind within 15 minutes if they are going to return."
"Put people in an enviorment where they can hear about Jesus. When we are willing to offer our best, people will meet Jesus."
"Creativity doesn't take money. It takes time."
"Creative people in our churches are frustrated because we don't give them enough time to really be creative."
"God NEVER gave the vision to a committee."
"Powerful people in your church will try to alter your vision"
"I'd much rather offend the people in church than offend God by disobeying Him."
"Pastors much surround themselves with godly passionate people."
"God wants the church to grow more than you do. Lead the church like you believe God and believe your vision. Ask God for big things."
That is only a few pieces. More to come on my blog.
