Gina McClain, and Brian Haynes were asked to share the "one thing" they would leave with the attendees.
Jim Wideman
- A love for the Word of God.
- Sometimes we have loved other things more than the Word of God.
- Just because you love Jesus doesn’t mean you love God’s Word.
- If we can instill in kids a love for God’s Word, it will show them how to love Jesus.
- God’s Word is life.
- Serve from the overflow. Ministry is like a checkbook – deposits and withdrawals. You have to deposit into your life each day by reading God's Word. If you don't, you'll be trying to serve from bounced spiritual checks.
Lazarus Chakwera
- Keep a passionate love for God.
- When you love God there is always something for you to do.
- Service that is born out of love for God will be a blessing instead of a task.
Gina McClain
- Mobilize children to live out their faith.
- Give them defined action steps to apply the truths they have learned.
- Help them put feet to their faith.
- Mobilize families to make a difference in their neighborhood.
- If you moved out of your neighborhood, would your family be missed?
Brian Haynes
- Your primary ministry must be your family.
- Your child needs you as a dad more than as a Pastor.
- Your wife needs you as a husband more than as a Pastor.
- Don’t let your calling cause you to cheat on your time with your family.
- Love not only the Lord with all your heart…but love your family with all your heart as well.
- Be committed to your family more than the church.
It was an incredible blessing to be part of this conference. If you didn't attend, I want to encourage you to consider joining us next year. You can register here. I will be posting more reviews at a later date.
