Last night I got the chance to attend the North Texas Accelerate Tour with a local youth pastor friend of mine. It was pretty good. There were definitely some great sound bites to soak up… So here goes a few them from my notes;

From Pastor Elwyn Johnston…

+ If you’re not tempted…your dead.
+ You do not have a volunteer problem, you have a vision problem.
+ We are losing the battle in ministry because of what is going on behind the pulpit.
+ Make time for prayer… How can you tell people what God is saying, if you aren’t hearing from Him?
+ You have to give up what you want…to get what you need.

From Pastor Steven McKnight…

+ Share ministry with your family…it’s not an “all about you” thing.
+ Are we ministry driven, or God driven?
+ Nothing else will be in rightful order, until God comes first.
+ In ministry, your spouse should be your greatest asset.
+ Is it right to father our people, and not our own kids?
