So these are some things I've been pondering today:
- How do we marry creativity/marketing with the Gospel?
- How can we reach people effectively without sacrificing the message (or without missing God altogether)?
- How can we push to maximize our resources for His kingdom without loving them or leaning on them?
- How do we (staff/leadership/volunteers) maintain focus (the “why”)?
- How do we ensure THEY (the people) understand the “why”?
In my opinion, these are some HUGE thoughts concerning "modern" ministry:
- In all things, ask WHY you are doing it. If it just to be “hip” or “trendy” then it is shallow.
- If you offer excellence but not His presence, then you just have an audience!!!!
- You can throw all the money in the world into lighting, sound, cameras, presentations, conferences, etc., but you cannot buy God’s presence.
- If you don’t have God’s hand on what you’re doing, it doesn’t matter how many people you have. You’ve failed.
- God’s not interested in your methods or styles. He doesn’t care that you’re “edgy.” It’s a moving target anyway. He wants hearts. Period.
