Walking the Tightrope
I was feeling stressed, but not anymore. Now I'm feeling downright lazy!
I just had a conversation with Bobby Gruenewald at Lifechurch.tv. He told me about their Phoenix and Fort Worth launches. Man, they are going gang busters! And I thought I had a lot on my plate :)
I did have a thought in the midst of my stressful day yesterday. Am I doing what God has called me to do? I don't want to do less and I don't want to do more. And that is a fine line. Ministry is really walking the tightrope isn't it? It is a balancing act.
I think we'll always feel like we can't do what we're called to do if we're really living by faith. There is a question in II Corinthians 2:16 that has always resonated in my spirit: "Who is equal to such a task?" The truth is that none of is equal to the task. But that forces us to pray like it depends on God because it does.
As Bill Hybels has so eloqeuntly said, we've got to make sure that we don't do the work of God at a pace that destroys the work of God in us.
FYI.
LifeChurch is launching an internet campus. I love they way they are pushing the envelope. In fact, they are pushing so many envelopes some of us are getting paper cuts :)
We're getting ready to launch a webcast on theaterchurch.tv so I really appreciate the opportunity follow in the wake of some great webcasters like Lifechurch.tv and Fellowship Church.
