I am with some friends this week at a pastor’s conference. It is called Timothy + Barnabas and led by Johnny Hunt. This has been a good time.
I’d like to share some take aways with you. These are more like one-liners and great take-aways. Lean in and listen to what God might say to you.
When God commissions, God commands, and we just have to obey.
Between the commission and command there is one word, obedience.
What if your obedience is contingent upon someone else obeying the Lord?
If you get close to Jesus, it is going challenge those around you. Oswald Chambers
It is not the truth you know. It is truth you only that changes you.
Theres no such thing as a leader without vision.
Where God guides, He provides.
Fallen stars attract attention, but there are a billion stars that are still in place. (this was in reference to a well know religious leader falling)
You never miss what you give away. Odus Scruggs
Biblical tithing is training wheels for real giving.
You don’t have to be rich to be generous. Jesus chose the poorest lady in the Bible to illustrate this fact with the lady who gave her two coins.
You never know how much you influence someone. So, be intentional. Ask people if they know God.
Remember what it is like to be lost. It will infuse you with more passion.
I’m blessed today in proportion to my generosity, money and using our talents.
There’s nobody so dirty that God can’t make them worthy.
Instead of complaining capture opportunities.
Your first calling isn’t to be a pastor. It is to be a christian.
The Bible is not a book to know. It is a book to obey.
You may grow weary in the work but do not grow weary of the work.
You never have the luxury of being unkind. Jerry Vines
We will reap if we don’t faint. So keep your Heart Clean and your Bow Strung.
Proverbs 4:23 NLT
Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life.
