Wow, read a lot of great responses, and a few no so great… I hadn’t considered this before but I agree a reply is absolutely a better route. As for retweeting statements you agree with, I don’t know anywhere other than the church that it would be supposed you agree with everything they say and do…that’s just ludicrous

Comment on When A Small Staff is Better by Mark Q

Great points ! Often what happens with larger a large staff is the SILO effect, when the mind set staff wise remains “lean and mean” the mentality of “team” is more prevalent.
At our church (church plant) one of things that can be attributed to our growth is the margin we have financially to meet needs in the community, this is a result of keeping the staff small and all wearing several “hats”, maybe the new normal huh? who woulda thunk it

At this point in my ministry, I can only speak towards the function of a house church staff structure, but the level of intimacy with all, or most, hands on deck is amazing and strengthens our overall structure. If God blesses us with growth, or an eventual church plant, I can only pray that the intimacy will hold.

I’ve always had an issue with Churches whose staff is big enough that they are in need of a Human Resources department. If a church staff is big enough that it requires a separate department to take care internally. Then how does it expect to be able to express itself Externally.

I know it’s not a “Christian” book per se, but Chip & Dan Heath’s book, Made To Stick, is a great book for learning how to take the principles of Christ and apply them in a way that does what we want - help create life-change. The more we can learn about what motivates and drives people, the better we may be able to take the Great News to them and get them to (get us!) to engage it.

I simply love this! With the global population increasing as quickly as it is, one of the few ways we can reach this immense population with the gospel is through technological means like this. Love it!

We’re so needy for everything but God - especially affirmation, influence, and attention; and we’ll use ministry and spiritual gifts to get those needs met. Been there, done that, do it all the time. God help me.

THANK YOU ORLANDO!!!!!!!!!!!
I have a Mac and can’t afford any programs right now. Your instructions about the DNS Servers works perfectly!!! All I had to do was copy and paste the DNS server numbers in the advanced network settings and PRESTO, it worked! Did a quick test using the adult site that popped up from a site totally different (a shoes site) and it worked! Got the “Blocked” notice just like you said! This is such a huge relief! Thank you! I have searched all over trying to find something that works and have been frustrated because the vast majority of programs only work for Windows.
Again, Thank you!!!!

I think there is a fine line that leaders must walk. Pastors are looking to celebrate victories and want to share testimonies with a larger group of people. Whether from the stage or a smart phone leaders must speak (tweet) out of a desire to honor God ALONE. Any other motive in any other forum is pride. It’s easy for leaders to find their identity and worth in receiving praise from on online audience.

Pride is ugly in whatever format it raises its head in. Whether we eat or we drink or we tweet or whatever we do, do it all for the glory of God!

I actually stopped participating in your online church because I felt that the pastors you and Amy are retweeting are dubious. If you retweet them, you are telling me you support what they are doing, therefore, I can’t trust your judgement.
