So many people....

Right now I am sitting here waiting on a prescription to be filled watching everyone walk in and out of this grocery store. There are so many different types of people here but one question keeps coming to mind... are they saved? So many times we are focused on do they go to church? Will they come to my church? Instead of thinking of that big question of are they saved? Have they even heard of Jesus? We need to get out of that mindset of bodies in a building to bodies of Christ!! You know that old saying... " if you build it they will come". Well if Jesus gets into their lives then they will start going to church but if they don't know him the question is almost no. So that bears the question... are you more concerned with four walls of a building or building the body of Christ?

What shall I do?

This is going to be a first in this blog but I am going to ask for some feedback. I need a cool way to raise some more money for production in my church. As most of you know production does a lot but one thing that it doesn't do is bring in revenue. It is really good at spending money just not the bringing in part. I just see yard sale and other stuff as fun but not really an efficient way of bringing in money. To bring it into perspective a new computer and camera is kinda the starting point. I just want to be able to efficiently do everything that a production dept. has to do and have it look good and not take overly long to put together because of slow equipment.  So what would be your way of bringing in some income? Now keep in mind that most sound/ production like working  in the shadows and not out and about. Just throwing that out there.

So much to do

You know working in the church I have found adds so much to your plate but it is worth it. It is hard for all of us to juggle everything that we have going on in our lives especially with children. Trying to find more time to help other churches has got me reevaluating where I spend my time. Do you really spend your days as efficient as possible. You know everyday won't be but all of us can definitely do better. Finding something that you want to do always helps. Tonight for instance I am going to sit down with another pastor and help him get his sound and video up to par so he can execute what vision the Lord has given him.  Helping is something that I have always loved to do so devoting time isn't that hard. I mean really, do we all really have to watch that much TV or stay updated on Facebook or twitter like the world is going to end if we don't see who posted something? So I challenge you to prioritize your day to make it more efficient for the Lord and you never know what you might accomplish!
