ACGC Day 3

Today I spent most of the day in a seminar titled "Leadership from the Heart" by Dan Webster. It was a great day. Webster offered some really solid stuff on leadership. I'll give some bullet points here and I'll try to keep it to ones that make sense on their own.

• 
  Two aspects of leadership
  1-what we do
  2-who we are
• 
  “The great disease of our day is that people want to look good without being good”-Brennan Manning
• 
  People can lead ministries without becoming more like Jesus=SCARY
• 
  Self leadership= #1 job of a leader
• 
  “In the important things of life don't take short cuts.”-Mike Singletary
• 
  “Leaders who finish understand they have a unique vulnerability to temptation and they do the necessary work to protect themselves.”-webster
• 
  “Lord, we don't ever want it to become old when we say 'I love you”-Webster

Also tonight the service was awesome...putting all the music aside (which was amazing) Rev. Ray Marco brought the message tonight and it was GOOD. Here is just a piece of what he said...

"God told me...'I did not call you to promote Ray Marco. I did not call you to promote your church. I did not call you to promote the Advent Christian denomination. You are to make disciples. It's not about you it's about my kingdom."

Wow!!! Ray did a fantastic job of reminding us that it's not about us and what we want but about the doors that God opens and invites us to walk through. Great day overall!
