Sunday Night Reflections

Nov 9, 2008

A few thoughts on the day before bed time…and I am PRAYING THAT I ACTUALLY SLEEP TONIGHT!!!

  • We saw 151 people receive Christ at NewSpring Church today…that NEVER gets old.
  • Clayton preached today…and, in my opinion, it was one of the best messages I’ve EVER heard him preach!
  • AND…even though the messages was targeted for the women…God used it to kick me in the head as well!
  • A couple of things he said were that REALLY stood out were, “If you are waiting to get caught up you will never get there!”
  • And, “there will always be one more thing to get done.”
  • It was nice to have a week off from speaking…even though I didn’t speak at NewSpring last week…I spoke six times at Hillsong…and I was tired!
  • I am REALLY looking forward to teaching next week.  I believe that next weeks service will go down as one of the most memorable we’ve ever had.
  • By the way…around 50 of the salvations that took place today were in Greenville…yes, video teaching works.

In Other News…

  • Jason, Jason (there are two) and myself took off this morning and went to Gary’s Church…Revolution.
  • He didn’t know we were coming!  :-)
  • I thought it was an awesome church experience!  Sinage was great, worship was awesome…and Gary did an excellent job speaking about a very controversial subject.
  • We went to lunch afterwards and his first questions to us were, “What did you see that we can work on?  What can we improve?  What can I do to be a better speaker?”  That, to me, is a sign of a hungry leader!
  • If you are a pastor who is doing the portable church thing and want to see a church doing an excellent job in a movie theater…it would be worth a trip one Sunday to check out what these guys are doing.
  • Coaching network is this Thursday…can’t wait to hang out with the guys again!

That’s it…I’m going to try & sleep now!
