May 1, 2018 EEleaders
Measure of success.jpg

"We must stop chasing models and start chasing Jesus again!"

___

"Zeal is simply not enough to carry us through ministry and leadership. We must be fully equipped to shepherd God’s people."

___

"Jesus didn’t say, 'Go and grow large.' He said, 'Go and make disciples.'"

___

"Filling our auditoriums is good; filling heaven is better."

___

"The church is first and foremost a group of people whom Jesus loves."

___

"God gave us a certain amount of talent, and he only holds us accountable for the gifts we have."

___

"Too many of us are trying to fulfill someone else’s ministry. Because of this there are too many cookie-cutter pastors, churches, and ministries and not enough pastors fulfilling their unique callings."

___

"You and I have to radically alter our schedules so we can spend time taking in the vision God has for us and our ministries."

___

"When you get right down to it, resting is a faith issue."

___

"We must stop pursuing the Great Commission at the expense of the Great Commandment."

___

"If we want to lead our team effectively, we must spend time with and demonstrate care for our team!"

___

"Determine what you expect of your team, and then make it clear. Say it. Write it down. Schedule team member reviews as often as necessary. Hold everyone accountable to meeting the expectations."

___

"If we really believed that Jesus was the hope of the world, we as pastors would spend more time with him."

___

"Our success in ministry will largely rise and fall based on our team."

___

"When you are convinced of your direction, you won’t quit when the low times roll in."
