Connection Required
Do not allow increasing ministry to decrease your intimacy,
and do not let your service exceed your worship. These
cause disconnection. Its not unique for leaders to lead
without the right heart connection.
Your First Two Years in Youth Ministry by Doug Fields, p.65
Quiet Place
Matthew 6:6 “Here’s what I want you to
do: Find a quiet, secluded place so
you won’t be tempted to role-play
before God. Just be there as simply
and honestly as you can manage. The
focus will shift from you to God, and
you will begin to sense his grace.
