MAIN

It was amazingly great to spend time today with two area Milwaukee churches, coaching them thru the Life Development Resources material we've been working with -- helping them define their mission, purposes, values and more.  I love what God is doing with both of these church teams.  


When the church is absolutely clear about what the 'main thing' is, you have to face it at every turn - in the way you prepare, plan, preach, pray and give.  This is true, not just of the leaders, but of every person in the church who understands what the 'main thing' is.   


I know from personal experience the task of helping people get real ownership of the mission.  One of the greatest leadership challenges you'll ever face is trying to get people to look beyond their own needs to the 'main thing' of valuing and reaching those outside God's family.  


But ... it's worth it.  For God's sake, it is.


And be blessed.
