Be reminded that comfort is a blessing, but it is not the mission.

[Steve R Parr @steverparr]

When we think of praise (of God), we are inclined to think of worship. But it is not just a Sunday opportunity. Praise is a daily choice. Always choose praise because when you do it changes the focus from your problems to God's power!

"Here is the reality that should sober every one of us: there is sin in every church and ministry community, because sin still resides in the heart of every leader." -Paul Tripp

Leadership communities are in trouble when they assign more power in their planning than in their prayers. -Paul Tripp

[Steve R Parr @steverparr]

In Paul D Tripp's book, LEAD, he reminds the reader that "In ministry, success and failure are not a matter of results, but are defined by faithfulness." On the other hand, he adds "Ministry laziness and unfaithfulness are failure."

If it is of The Lord, don't wait until your heart is in it to do it but rather do it until your heart is in it.

Being a good example is critical, but leadership is useless unless you're intentionally influencing others and inspiring them to a greater purpose.

It is not the size of your congregation or your group that makes a difference, but rather the size of your God that makes the difference.

I pulled this up from a sermon by Kevin Miller some years back and it is "gold."
"To hear from God....be near to God!"

"That which the leader elevates is that to which followers gravitate."

[Steve R Parr @steverparr]

Every church has problems because every church has people. The aim is not to be problem free but Spirit driven, therefore able to proceed.

The best way to grow a ministry is for a ministry's leader to grow.

Matthew 1:22-23 So all this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying: “Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel,” which is translated, “God with us.”
Merry Christmas to all!
