Pastors Help Your Staff

admin — Sat, 04 Sep 2010 14:04:11 +0000

This is a short Saturday post written while waiting for my car to be finished in the shop (yes we have repair places here that are still open on Saturday…):

Pastors do a few things that will greatly help your staff, and if you already do them – great, keep it up…

1. Communicate, don’t just talk. This makes your working relationship work.

2. Don’t micromanage. If you micro-manage, expect micro-results.

3. Be accountable to both God and man.

4. Sometimes the best thing to do is just listen.

5. Don’t be afraid to lead where God is taking your church, no matter the cost.

Walmart Wireless

admin — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 03:12:47 +0000

I was at Walmart last night in Terre Haute, IN and I noticed that the connection center in Electronics was no longer there…

So I started to wonder if walmart was stepping out of activations and going to push more prepaid products. Then I checked out, and what did I see but a Walmart Wireless “store within a store” between Subway and a hair place. I don’t think we need to question what Walmart’s dealer aspirations are anymore…

Are these popping up all over? Are they where you are? Let us know…

What is the Story Here?

admin — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 11:30:54 +0000

I ran across this story yesterday:

Disqualified from ministry « drinking from the same dipper.

I read the post below, and was saddened, then I was a little angry (it brings up some old scars…). But then as I worked through the range of emotions, I wonder “Is there really more to this story?”. What if it is truly at face value? What would you say or do for the recently ousted Youth Pastor? What would be your reaction to His church. I’ve been there (though not for the same reasons) and God provided in only a way that He can.

We need time to heal, but too much time can make us bitter. Don’t give up! Do what God has called you to do.
