Right on!

I’m thinking these days that senior saints may be one of the most valuable constituencies in the church, for three reasons:
1) experience
2) financial margin
3) time margin

When seniors buy-in the vision is much closer to being fulfilled! Let’s not push them aside let’s embrace them AND seniors… don’t sideline yourselves or write us off! Get in the game! The Kingdom needs you!

I think it goes both ways we need the older pastors and they need us. However on both sides so many of us are threatened by each other. But you are so right its not about our egos, worship styles, pews or movie theater chairs, or attendance records, or building funds, or hymns or Rock and roll…its about loving and sharing God’s unconditional love.

We pastors have forgotten that in so many ways.

Love the correlation from your dad to that of a pastor who is a father or mentor figure…man, if those who have gone before us would build into and encourage those who are beginning in ministry today what a blessing each would receive individually and from each other…it’s all about a ‘laser-focus’ in fulfilling the great commission…love following you, Awaken, and above all seeking to grow the kingdom together with my brothers…
