UNleash Mind Dump (Part 2)

I was supposed to do this yesterday but I took the day off and spent some quality time with my wife which was much needed.  I probably have never said this here but my wife ROCKS (and is hot to boot)

Ok here it goes

• God can give you a sloppy wet kiss or a big fat kick….it’s his prerogative
• If you are a pastor every week the rocks are coming…people will want to stone you
• Acts 14:8-10 Paul heals a man—- that is a Great day in ministry
• Be careful listening to the crowd. Those that deify will crucify
• Acts 14:11-19 Paul is stoned— Yeah pretty much a bad day in ministry
• Acts 14:20 Paul continues on—-Call to every pastor
• They stoned Paul…..the pastor…not any of the support staff….the Pastor

3 Rocks that are thrown

1. Deception
   • Pastors you do NOT have to do everything
   • The Bible says those that will not work are LAZY but those who will not rest are DISOBEDIENT
   • The second most abused person in the church is the Pastor’s wife
   • Pastor Jesus doesn’t need you to love HIS bride he needs you to love YOURS
   • Pastor you will never impress your wife with your job performance…
2. Distraction
   • Churches have a lot of agendas other than Jesus
   • God is not green….. Kermit is
   • Pastors, your people can believe in you and go to hell or believe in Jesus and be saved
   • God can use us because we were barren and worthless and He could receive the most glory from us
   • Pastor you will never impress your wife with your job performance…
3. Discouragement

3 words to remember

1. Awareness
   • We make mistakes because we are unaware
2. Unity
   • We have too many HUGE Understandings in the church
   • Lead with integrity be who God called you to be not some stereotype
   • Get big vision from God stop trying to push yours
   • Listen to your staff they are called to do their jobs not to have you do it for them
   • Keep short accounts do not hold on to bitterness
   • Make expectations clear and realistic
   • Honor your staff’s time they have families too
3. Passion
   • If you can’t support the vision of your church get off the team
   • If your pastor is disobedient then let God cut him down (that is HIS job)
   • When a pastor has staff and leadership that gather around him he will be able to get up no matter what stones have hit him
