I would rather have a bad game plan that is well executed than a well thought plan not is not executed. A bad game plan can be changed. A plan that is executed shows you have what it takes to execute a game plan. BUT not executing a well game plan shows something about our character. So what’s your game plan? Are you executing it?

The dumbest question is the question that you don’t ask. How many mistakes have I made because I did not care to ask. Do not be afraid to ask if you don’t know. Don’t be afraid to ask after you have done everything and still don’t know the answer. Jesus said ” You do not have because you do not ask.” Ask.

Every time we promote a leader we need to be sure he/she has been faithful in the small things because once we’ve promoted someone or empowered someone it is hard to unempower that person. Luke 16:10 ¶      “Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much. Some suggestions before empowering someone to leadership roles. 1. Find people who have led smaller groups. Do they have good interpersonal skills. Are they effective in leading small groups? If...

When something bad happens in church – take responsibility. Take the blame. When a volunteer messes up in public- take the blame but talk to the volunteer privately. When a staff did not come through – take the blame publicly, reprimand privately. When something great happens – give the credit to your staff, leaders and volunteers. Never take the credit. When a staff does an amazing job – praise him/her publicly. Same thing with volunteers. That is leadership. I learned that from the pastors who have mentored me and I have seen how...

Okay – this is not a TONY ROBBINSish blog or a new age blog. This is also not a blog on how I was able to marry a beautiful woman This is how we get to attract people to volunteer in church. 1. VISION – it should be a big vision. People want to matter so your vision has to matter if you want to attract people to serve. 2. LEADER – people have to love the leader or they won’t last. I have seen this happen in some circles. They love the vision, they rallied behind the leader but found out later that the leader is not worth following....

Let’s face it we want to always copy somebody. Somebody’s preaching style, teaching style, fashion, personality, material stuff. But here is a great advice by Pastor Ed Young – U B U Enjoy this video

Criticisms would always come. I blogged about it days ago. I was reading a book by Seth Godin and he wrote about 5 ways to be an unfair critic: 1. Speak in absolutes. ” That was the worst preaching ever”. Heap as much negativity into one sentence as possible. 2. Criticize not just the item in question but also the background of the person or organization responsible for it. 3. Criticize the motivation of the creator. 4. Criticize the taste and judgment of anyone who disagrees with your criticism. 5. Make threats in your criticism.Ex: “I’ll...

Derek Sivers gave a wonderful talk on leadership and movements in less than 3 minutes. This is a must watch for people who want to make a difference.

I face this all the time. I do it sometimes and I fall for it sometimes. Days when you get depressed because you feel like all people in church are facing humongous problems. Days when you think all marriages suck Days when you think all people are not managing their finances really well. Days when you think the state of the church is not where it should be because of the NOISE. The noise might be a couple in church who are giving up on their marriage The noise might be a young person who got pregnant. The noise might be a fight, a tension, a trauma or a...
