Andy Stanley is my new favorite. He is an excellent commun-icator! I've been listening to his podcasts and reading his book Visioneering. The book is right on target with where we're at in the church planting process (the "pre-start"). It's a great book for anyone who has a burden or vision for something that just will not go away. (Hopefully that's most believers!)Here are some quotes that have been meaningful to me from what I've read so far. These are all related to success:
- "Success often leads to self-sufficiency. Rare is the successful individual who has not lost sight of what he would be without God."
- "God's work, done in God's way, in God's time, is always successful. And it come off in such a way as to point back toward the source: God."
- "Success is remaining faithful to the process God has laid out for you."
Good stuff, huh?
How would you define "success"--especially as it relates to ministry? What do you consider some of the successes in your life?
I'll have to look up this book!
