more from pastor's conference


Yesterday I shared some of the take aways from the Timothy + Barnabas conference I attended this week.  I want to finish that up with some more of the notes I took.


The following are from the last day and from Benny Tate and Jordan Easley.  Read on and taken in what God makes stick with you…


You can’t delegate the vision of the church.  God gives it, and we are responsible for sharing it.


You can assist a ministry without owning the vision.


Your vision comes from the burden God places on your heart.


Without vision, people perish.  Without vision, people look for another parrish. 


Yesterday’s home runs won’t win today’s games.  Babe Ruth


Those closest to you over time determine your success.


Don’t ever doubt what God can do through you.


4 things we can do for others: tell them you are proud of them, promote others, share your possessions with others, pray for others.


Look for moments to maximize every moment for the glory of God.


Every crisis is an opportunity.  Edwin Young


These moments didn’t catch God by surprise.


Every setback is a setup for a bounce back.


If everything closes, how can we still accomplish what God call is to do?


Don’t forget to bring leaders with you.


Strategy is the GPS that tells success where to go.


Great communication isn’t talking.  Great communication is talking and the message being received. 


Leadership is hard, but God never promised it would be easy.


If you don’t care for yourself, who will?


Your church can find a new pastor, but your kids cannot find a new dad.


Those are powerful truths and phrases.  Re-read them.  Think through what sticks.


Ephesians 3:20  NLT

Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.

Have you heard of EDITH BURNS?

Edith Burns was a wonderful Christian who lived in San Antonio, Texas . She was the patient of a doctor by the name of Will Phillips. Dr. Phillips was a gentle doctor who saw patients as people. His favorite patient was Edith Burns.  One morning he went to his office with a heavy heart and it was because of Edith Burns.  When he walked into that waiting room, there sat Edith with her big black Bible in her lap earnestly talking to a young mother sitting beside her.  Edith Burns had a habit of introducing herself in this way: "Hello, my name is Edith Burns.  Do you believe in Easter?" Then she would explain the meaning of Easter, and many times people would be saved.  Dr. Phillips walked into that office and there he saw the head nurse, Beverly. Beverly had first met Edith when she was taking her blood pressure. Edith began by saying,"My name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?"  Beverly said, "Why yes I do."  Edith said, "Well, what do you ...

wash feet, sharing hope

  John 13:4-5,14 NLT  So he got up from the table, took off his robe, wrapped a towel around his waist, 5 and poured water into a basin. Then he began to wash the disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel he had around him… 14 And since I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other’s feet. Jesus set the example we follow.  He served.  He valued and gave value to others.  That is why we choose to serve. For 18 years our church has shared an outreach called back2school, and for 16 of those years we have chosen to give students brand new shoes and socks as well as washing their feet.  It is one of the most important parts of this event. Washing feet is a humbling experience where both the give and the receiver learn how to share some moments that might change their lives.  Jesus said we should do this.  See the verse above.  Follow His example, do what He did, and give far more than you will ever know....
