Thanks Pastor Brady! This is something that we have all had to wrestle with, and I am thankful for your guidance of keeping what you did, and changing what you did. I am glad to still be here, and loved the old, and now love the new!

Yes!!! Yes, yes, YES!!!!!! This is exACTly why small groups are SO INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT! (Fyi, I realize all caps is equated with shouting. It needs to be shouted!) Because that is where friendships can marinate, where they can grow, where we find relationship and community. Often, those who find themselves without good friendships are those that come late for church, scoot right out the door as soon as it’s over, and aren’t dong anything with believers the rest of the week. My challenge: plug in and just SEE what happens. I dare you!

Comment on We Exist to Build Leaders by Steve Shannon

Great Blog. The ‘need’ to have ‘perfect’ churches is an unrealistic expectation and often attempted by excluding the input and contribution of the next generation. While there certainly should be a desire to be all that the Lord wants our churches to be as well as the pursuit of such an endeavor, we must keep in mind mistakes do happen and life often gets is messy but this is where growth is given the opportunity to take place. By not allowing the next generation to be part of the decision making process we deny them the opportunity to learn from our mistakes as well as deny ourselves from learning by their positive input and contribution to our churches. What harm is there if we learn from our mistakes and clean up the messes? If we play it safe and exclude the next generation we risk the chance of not experiencing growth well as risk the chance of staying the ‘same old same old.’

Pouring into young leaders! Thank you for this post. Started working with a 14 girl when I was 24. I let her lead worship in “Big” Church. At 19 she enrolled at New Life. She is still there and thriving! I even saw her fulfill one of my life long dreams…going to Africa. I love you Lindsay Kelley and am so proud to have played a part in your life.

Comment on We exist to equip believers by Angela White

Yes and amen. I’m incredibly thankful for the people in my life that let go and allowed me to potentially make mistakes… and allowed me to grow and mature in the process. When we don’t allow for failure, we don’t allow for success, either. It’s one of the reasons I believe in decisions by guided delegation, as opposed to decisions by constant committee. =^)

Comment on What makes church work? by Simeon Quadri

Yeah Brady you are right! You know I often ask myself when am in the church, when everywhere is booming with instrumentals, drum set etc. and the whole place go agog. Everybody now saying the spirit is here and people begin prophesy. then I asked myself how much pf the HOLY SPIRIT we have around and how much of instrumental and environmental anointing we have. Above all instruments could be deceitful believing that we have visitation of GOD, and yet HE has not interrupted just for one minute. Then what do have? Mere noise of talent display. May the LORD help all of us.

Besides donating my own money to Haiti, I will continue to pray for them. Lifting everything up to Heaven for them.

Hi Pastor, After posting, I felt lead by the Lord to this passage…
“‘I have commanded My sanctified ones; I have also called My mighty ones for My anger–
Those who rejoice in My exaltation’

The noise of a multitude in the mountains,
Like that of many people!
A tumultuous noise of the kingdoms of nations gathered together!
The Lord of hosts musters The army for battle.
They come from a far country, From the end of heaven–
The Lord and His weapons of indignation,
To destroy the whole land.
Wail for the day of the Lord is at hand! Is 13:3-6

May we be a people set apart, and sanctified for the days ahead….blessings…kathy walton
