Visiting with Canada Summer Jobs (CSJ) youth who did an outstanding job of organizing & creating the virtual Family Fest for Maple Community Church. Great learning opportunity for all. They also shared with me how important the program was to helping get jobs at a difficult time
God is never overwhelmed, surprised nor dismayed by any news. History is not happening to God; it is unfolding in the palm of His hand. Rest in the Lord. Though the storm may rage, the God who rules the wind and the waves is our God. This too shall pass.
St. Valentine was imprisoned beheaded & buried on 14 Feb 269 AD for helping persecuted Christians & marrying Christian couples! While in prison he prayed for his jailer’s daughter & her blindness was healed. On the day of his execution he left her a note signed, ‘Your Valentine.’
I just want to remind you that you are not alone. God is in you. God is with you. God is for you. He sees. He knows. He cares. You can trust him. He is faithful.
Great executive pastors submit to the authority of the lead pastor.
They challenge appropriately, they lead up, and, ultimately, they understand what it means to both be in authority and under authority at the same time.
5 Keys to Humility:
1. Never lose gratitude
2. Take the low place
3. Keep your notebook open, you can learn something from anyone
4. Push others into the spotlight
5. Confess you own wrongdoing before addressing the wrongdoing of others
Reminder: The way a person treats you is more often a reflection of how they FEEL ABOUT THEMSELVES, not you!
Let’s be QUICK to forgive and HARD to offend! #perspective
