This is not too bad....
"
1. You’re not making a profit.
You can be really busy, and still not be able to make an impact. In other words you can’t equate busyness with godliness. You can’t keep doing the wrong things, and hope that one day some how it will make things right. In order for a church to stay in “business” (doing God’s work for the Kingdom), we can’t just do things right, we MUST be doing the right things!
2. You haven’t talked to a potential customer.
You aren’t involved in the community. You only have Christians as friends, and you are not actively involved in inviting the un-churched to your church. All “holy huddles” die! They do. God has not called His church to just congregate, but to mutilate the gates of hell! That can’t be done just hangin with the homies. Hit the streets & villages.
3. You don’t love what you do.
If you are leading in a church, and you would really rather be doing something else. Anything else! Please go do it. Those who stay in “ministry” just because they can’t find anything else aren’t looking hard enough! Those who hang just to get paid do the church and the work of the Kingdom great harm.
4. You can’t take criticism.
If someone comes to you with an idea, or input that is a contradiction to what you are doing, and you blow them off! They may be off base, but many times it’s an indication that something is wrong! Don’t be easily offended. That is a sign of pride. Remember what God does to the proud, He “opposes them.”
5. You don’t care about your customers.
The precious ones that God has brought to you, you take for granted. You don’t build leaders & try and just maintain a status quo. That strategy has and always will fail. The church is called to be a builder not a manager."
