This is a few things i said Sunday in the message series i am speaking: Paradigm SHIFT!
- If you truly believe in the Life Saving Power of Jesus Christ, then why did you come to clc alone today???
- You want to know what bothers me, is that you have friends & family that are going into eternity without Christ and it doesn't bother you; that really bothers me!!!
- Faith without works is DEAD!!
As a Pastor it is important that we ask ourselves these same questions. It is very easy to get caught up in "doing ministry" that we forget really what the ministry is all about.
There is no greater satisfaction to me than spending time with those disconnected from God. Ask yourself what your priorities really are in ministry?? Are you spending sooo much time doing ministry that you have disconnected yourself from what ministry really is all about??
As Pastors, If you truly believe in the Life Saving Power of Jesus, then who have you shared it with today??
You want to know what bothers me, that we have friends & family on their way into eternity without Jesus and that doesn't bother you, that bothers me!!!
As people called to ministry it is very important to ask ourselves these questions and realign our purpose and goals accordingly. Narrow the FOCUS!!!
I showed a video that is on you tube to my church in January. It ROCKED MY WORLD. It is Penn from Penn and Teller sharing about a man giving him a bible.

Penn is an atheist who share an experience and it will challenge your people to share their faith. Seriously, watch the video. It is about 5 minutes in length but is profound!
