Andy Stanley on Gaining and Sustaining Momentum
When we ask churches that are experiencing momentum, “Why?” they will often respond, “God is just blessing.” Now that is a good answer, but that is not a helpful answer. The follow-up question needs to be, “what is God blessing?”

    God is blessing good hard work done for HIM. In other words, God is expectng us to do what we can ourselves. God also wants things done for his glory not personal recognition.

    I do not believe God is going to feed someone who sits on his butt and asks to be fed when that person is able to work.

If This Is Not A Place. . .

If this is not a place where tears are understood, Then where shall I go to cry? And if this is not a place where my spirit can take wings, Then where shall I go to fly? I don't need another place for trying to impress you With just how good and virtuous I am. I don't need another place for always being on top of things; Everybody knows that it's a sham. I don't need another place for always wearing smiles, Even when it's not the way I feel. I don't need another place to mouth the same old platitudes; Everybody knows that it's not real. So if this is not a place where my questions can be asked, Then where shall I go to seek? And if this is not a place where my heart cry can be heard, Where, tell me where, shall I go to speak? So if this is not a place where tears are understood, Where shall I go, where shall I go to fly? -- Ken Medema
