“Clearly explain exactly how to respond to Christ. Too many invitations to salvation are misunderstood. The unchurched often have no idea what’s going on.” – Rick Warren
I have to get better at this.
I have to get better at challenging people to action
I have to get better at being clear what I am asking for
I have to stop sounding apologetic when I call for action
What energises you, what are your passions?
Evaluate your effectiveness
I would encourage you to have someone that can speak into your life. Someone that loves you and has your best interests at heart. Sometimes truth is we minister, or think we are ministering but in fact all we do is make ourselves feel good. The true test of leadership is if anyone is following you. The bible says in proverbs, the wounds of a friend are true. In other words get your friend to tell you if they think you are effectively ministering in the power of the Spirit in the are you think you are. (Prov 27.6)
This from the Herald Sun makes a lot of sense,
“Jakovich, a player recognised for his self discipline and professionalism, acknowledged there was a culture and discipline problem at the club. “Where the club gets a lot of criticism is they’ve let a few (indiscretions) slip in the past couple of years and it’s come back to bite them,” he said. “There’s a lot of people now saying there is a discipline or cultural problem in the footy club. “(And from the outside) you perceive that there is. “They (players) need to understand their responsibility. How many times do you keep having these incidents and so-called meetings and counselling sessions? “It has to come to a certain point.”
Now I has booed Glen more times than……well a lot anyhow, especially when he decided to slap Longmuir, and earned the moniker “Slapovich”.
But here, what he says is exactly right. Contrast his comments with the doublespeak of Worsfold, “Worsfold yesterday ruled out West Coast enforcing an alcohol ban on its players. “I know a lot of our players don’t drink at all, so there is no use putting an alcohol ban on them,” the coach said. “
So, because some of WC players are responsible, or tea totallers, we should not ban those, like Kerr, who cant handle it. How does this make sense John?????
This final comment from Glen sums up the culture at WC for me,
“Asked would the player be at the club if it wasn’t Kerr, Jakovich said on SEN radio: “No, he wouldn’t.”
Had my pastors peer group today,
could not have survived this long in ministry without these guys.
We have all been through a lot.
Their prayer support and innate understanding is really strengthening for me.
Being a pastor is unique, and I dont know of any job like it. There are some things only other pastors understand, like, I imagine, many other professions.
Apparently heard at Woosha’s press conference after the game – he is so concerned at his teams fitness level and their inability to keep pace with freo last night that the eagles are going to install a gym at the East Perth lock-up
4 super goals, one from Paul Duffield of all people.
Against a side which won last years premiership, and had 18 of the players from that side in.
Woo Hoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!
