Partnership

Partnership is the ability to be able to work together toward a common vision. The ability to direct individual accomplishment toward organized objectives. It is the fuel that allows common people to attain uncommon results.... Simply put, it is less "me" and more "we."

Just as there are many parts to our bodies, so it is with Christ's body... for we each have a different work to do ... each needs all the others. Romans 12:4-5 TLB

7 Practices Of Effective Ministries

1. Clarify the Win. Define what is important. What is the organization’s purpose. Leaders and people working/serving in the organization need to know what a “win” is. We like to win so make it very clear to the people involved what a win looks like.
2.Think Steps, Not Programs. Before you start anything, make sure it takes you where you want and need to go in order to “win”. Think process. Processes within programs.
3. Narrow the Focus. Do fewer things in order to make a greater impact. Less is more. Focus, focus, focus.
4. Teach Less for More. Say only what you need to say to the people who need to hear it. Not everyone has to be in the know. Not everyone has to give permission to take action or make a move forward.
5. Listen to Outsiders. Focus on who you are trying to reach, not who you’re trying to keep. Information from those not yet in organization is needed and can be used to help make improvements.
6. Replace Yourself. Learn to hand of what you do. Develop people. Develop leaders. Train others. Give permission within perimeters of “win”.
7. Work On It. Take time to evaluate your work, and to celebrate your wins. Analyze and improve. Personal improvement and organizational improvement is a must. Allow Teams to evaluate and improve.

A Mountain - From A Friend

The following is from a devotional reading devotion Joshua DuBois:

MAKE ME A MOUNTAIN

“Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abides forever.”  Ps 125:1 (ESV)

Lord, make me a mountain.
Let my base run wide and deep, sturdy and immovable.
Let my peak break through the clouds: let me see for mile all around.
Though I crumble from time to time, let me never break.
And let my posture always, always, be pointed upward, toward worshiping, toward You.
Lord, make me a mountain, like Zion. “Which cannot be moved, but abides forever.” Amen

Refuge, Yep!

The Lord Is My Refuge...

1 I love you, O LORD, my strength.2 The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge. He is my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. 3 I call to the LORD, who is worthy of praise, and I am saved from my enemies.  Psalm 18:1-3

1 God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.2 Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,3 though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging.  Psalm 46:1-3

1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.2 I will say of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust."  Psalm 91:1-2

A Sense Of Calling

“We must dispense with the myth that commitment to Christ means becoming a clergyman, or that work done inside a church building or in a church organization is more holy, somehow, than work done in the marketplace. Christ came to give us a sense of calling in everyday work. This is where the world is changed, and where the kingdom is built.” Bruce Larson

Thanks to my friend Tyrone Lawton for sending this to me and some other men.
