Life Lessons

My friend Eric @ Luis Palau sent me this pic - it says it all!

Here are some items I have been thinking of and so was Jake Beaty (he holds a similar position to mine at a cool church and I have been doing some similar thinking - check out Jakes Blog and here is something that is is similar to his that I feel God has been teaching me.
Top 10

1. I must be with Him (in The Bible - Read!, Prayer, With my wife also) before attempting to serve others for Him.

2. I must minister in the Power of The Holy Spirit, not the flesh.

3. I must be authentic and real.

4. I must be under authority.

5. I must remain teachable.

6. I must be a team player.

7. I must be a minister to the whole church, not just in my area of expertise.

8. I must be diligent in pointing others to Him. He will not share His glory!

9. I must Love my wife and show her daily - not through words

10. I must Love My boys and show them that I am living this out daily - so they will!

Go Hit it!

Hi Mike,

Thanks for giving me a shout out on your blog. I would love to talk with you sometime about your ministry and what God is teaching you. Sounds like we have a lot in common. I hope you are having a great week!
