My Best Leadership Decision I Ever

I recently watched a conference session from the Catalyst Conference. The speaker was Andy Stanely. He is the pastor of North Point in Atlanta, GA. He titled his talk, "My Best Leadership Decision I Ever Made."

He found when starting a new church that there was not enough time to be a leader because of leadership and there was not enough time to get done what God wants him to get done. He said, what we do is cheat our families when we are in a crunch for time, not the church. He said, we tend to cheat towards those things that show progress and also we cheat because we are afraid. We are afraid. We think, "If I don't. . . It won't."

The biggest leadership Decision he made was that if he was going to cheat something or somebody out of time, he was going to cheat the church not his family. The Bible commands us to love our wife's not the church. Church growth does not rest on any pastor, but on Jesus. Jesus said, I will build my church . . "

I totally agree with his decision. I have made the same decision. How about you?
