Description:

The Chinese Communist Party is forcing people who are dependent on government aid to remove images of Jesus and other religious imagery from their homes or face losing their subsidies. This is not the time to give up, your congregation needs you more than ever, but as a leader, you do get to be human. Let’s talk about that: How to Lead When Nothing Is Normal Many preachers today seem to be reasonably adept at exhortation, telling their listeners what they should do, must do, need to do, etc. That is a key element in the preaching task, but exhortation alone isn't enough. I’m hearing parents say how delighted they are to see their children actually listening to the sermon because it’s short enough to hold their attention. The idea of a brief Protestant homily has suddenly not only become possible, but for many churchgoers, a desirable option. If we humbly seek to become more self-aware (for instance, discover our blind spots) we will lead and serve more effectively. There are three factors, says Awana's Matt Markins, that "when they’re present together, are far more likely to produce long-term spiritual fruit" in the kids we’re discipling. “I don’t think we can ever love or lead well," says Pastor Chip Ingram, "until we see ourselves more and more the way God sees us." You might think of digital church as being impersonal. But Jeff Reed says, "The strength of online church is relationships." “I just feel like so many Christians have given up," says Carlos Whittaker, "and I don’t think that Jesus Christ died on the cross so we can cope.” “I believe," says Eugene Cho, "that you can be fierce and contend for convictions and still hold to the values of the fruits of the Spirit.”  As you consider your kids' need for spiritual direction, says Lacy Finn Borgo, recognize that “children have all of what they need to have an encounter with God." When it comes to racial reconciliation, says Brenda Salter McNeil, “I think Esther is our prototype for what to do next.” There are 12 things a church pastor cannot do. Pastors are amazing people and, in faith, they can do a lot...just not these things.
