Yesterday my good friend Pastor Lisa Alexander posted her lessons learned in 2011 . I get a lot of great ideas from her, and this was one so here goes. I learned a plethora of lessons in the past year but I'm only going to share one today. Don't make a spiritual excuse for what's not working . I get so sick of excuses in other people but I was making this one myself!! So often we say, "if just one person was touched, it was worth it." We say that whenever something's bringing a low amount of fruit in but we don't know what else to do. While the, "if just one person is changed/touched/grows" theory is true in some cases, in other situations it's just an excuse to put off the necessary. What is necessary? Often it's making a wise change. In the business world nobody would keep doing the same thing over and over again year after year without some serious return on investment. So why do we do it in Christianity or the church? B
