Never underestimate how much you are doing by not doing anything.
Especially for those of us who are in ministry who carry with us the perception that we have God adjacent powers.
The Church is in a new world.
In order to change the expectations of pastors requires not meeting them.

“The Caring Congregation Ministry” by Karen Lampe and Melissa Gepford.
Powerful quote, “when we (pastors) take the reins for ourselves, we deny people opportunities to be who they were called to be”.
Friends, your thoughts?

Despite whatever challenges or joy we face tomorrow, our life is a gift not to be taken for granted.
Each day, we have the opportunity to make the best of it, regardless of whatever variables present themselves.
Every day can't be the best day. But it is something we can work with. #BeUMC

*Sunday morning, greeting the congregation*
Goodmorning Pastor! Could I ask you something about the finance committee?
Hello Pastor! Got time this week to come out and pick up some books?
Pastor! I got something to say about your sermon last week!
Hey Pastor! When does that group meet again?

When Christ shared God's promise of liberation to his own people, they cheered him.
When Christ cited that God's promise of liberation was often received by the outsider before their own people, they tried throwing him off a cliff.
Luke 4:14-29

To Preachers and Christians.
Am I on to something? I think there are two predominant groups in our churches when it comes to sermons.
Group A) wants sermons of escape and comfort.
Group B) wants sermons of justice and civic engagement.
If this is a divide, how primary is it?
Thoughts?

To my UMC and Christian friends. What are some of the repetitive "squabbles" (dysfunctions) that keep our church's (local and higher) from moving towards healthy spirituality and healthy church growth?
In other words, what isn't working organizationally?
