Yesterday Doug Roe,the lead pastor, briefly talked about his top 10 mistakes…i dittoed a few…
there’s trouble ahead when I
…move fast forward or do anything in haste
…don’t respectfully say no and stand my ground on certain issues
…don’t speak the truth in love
…don’t work out on a consistent basis
…attempt to live my life on someone elses faith, instead of my own
…become too casual and begin to drift through life on a river of routine
…don’t take time to see other people through the eyes of Christ
…don’t listen. especially to my wife
…am not patient with my children
…don’t nurture / develop God’s obvious investment in my life
…don’t pay attention to my spiritual gauges…(see pastoral ponderings link my friend David has written about this a few times)
