Instead of all the negative comments we often hear in church, wouldn't it be nice if these were the norm?
We can do it Pastor – The “can do” attitude. Who can’t work with
that?
Jesus
will make a way – If we believe this. then all we have to do is follow Him…right?
It’s not
about me – Wow! To
hear someone say that…makes a pastor’s day.
Let’s
walk by faith – Yes,
let’s do. Because, without faith, it’s impossible to please God. At least,
according to the Bible.
What can
I do to help? – Imagine
if everyone showed up at church ready to do whatever it took to make the day
work. Just imagine. We can dream, can’t we?
We need
some change around here – I think
we do. Sustained momentum always
requires change. Always.
I know we
need to talk about money – You do?
Really? You recognize that it takes money to operate a church? Wow! Are you
contagious?
It’s none
of my business – Okay,
this is a tough one, but seriously, is it? Do you really need to know
everything, or do you just like information? I wonder if we moved forward with
less information if we would be closer to walking by faith…which in essence
means we go without seeing… Just wondering.
I’m
excited about trying something new – By excited, do you also mean you’ll support
it? And speak positively about it? Even behind the pastor’s back? Because, if you
do, I’m gonna hug you. Seriously.
This
church is awesome! – It’s
simple, but it builds momentum. Believing in the church, it’s leadership, and
it’s potential is a key to welcoming people who will later feel likewise.
