Is innovation overrated? It seems like we church leaders are always trying to innovate right? And I’m cool with that. But how much innovation does it take to teach people how to pray, read the bible, love others, and know their theology?
Has technology got in the way of God. Have we over-emphasized the power and need of technology in the church? I’m not anti technology. I think we are called to redeem technology for God’s glory.
Maybe we pastor’s are more into innovation then seeking God. If our churches reflect the pastor, what should the pastor being doing? In my weekly schedule I’m going to be adding a lot more time to study, pray, fast and be still. Less is more!
Not to be over-spiritual, but I have this deep conviction that I’m not truly doing what I’m called to do. And what scares me is the fact that someday I will stand before God and give an account.
i’m curious to know if these are lessons that you’ve learned since the “sabbatical” you were on after leaving your last church.
i think the perspective of being a non-professional-on-staff-”minister” can really help tether us to a center point that many pastors cannot understand.
