from Jeremy White - church planter/pastor Stonewater Church, Grandbury, TX
1. Ride your ride. Be whom God has created you to be.
2. Kingdom minded not Competition minded. Other churches are not your competition. Prince of darkness and powers are your competition. Lift up the ministry of other churches in your town.
3. Fight the tendency to turn inward. Maintain the external focus and continually remind the people to be externally focused.
4. What makes your church unique? Define this and stick to it as your core values.
5. Be content with where you are but not content staying there. Have a passion for where God wants to lead you, but rejoice about where God has brought you thus far.
6. Pray that God will send the right people and that He will protect you from the wrong people. The right people are the lost and the leaders. The wrong people are those that want to hijack the vision.
7. This is a marathon not a sprint.
8. You’ve got to take care of momma. Do not neglect your wife. She will make or break your ministry. Love on her, take care of her, spend quantity and quality time with her. Fill her love tank. Talk about your love for her in front of others. Encourage her in front of others.
9. Staff kids are God’s kids. Have special parties for the staff kids. Thank the kids for letting their parents serve the church. Staff kids sacrifice a lot so their parents have the time to do what they do for the church.
10. The Holy Spirit transforms lives not your church. People are on fire and prideful about the church, but don’t let them worship the church instead of worshiping God. Shine the light on God and the Holy Spirit, not the church. Let the people take ownership of the church, but not worship the church.
