People are the reason for the Church… we must never lose sight of this. The Lord came to seek and to save that which was lost … that means people are important to God and they must be to us. You say "of course .. that's a given!" But sometimes we let people get on our nerves … do we not? Always take time for people..God took time for you.
Making people important and the priority of our ministry takes something from us ..Our time!
Time to listen, to care, and to share their lives. Just as a farmer has to love the land .. taking time to understand it ..working with it .. plowing, planting, watering and reaping… so it is with the Church Planter. Take some time with someone today ..you never know just how they may grow.
