MAN SUCCESS
WE MUST REDEFINE SUCCESS:
• Success in life is not defined by the quantity of our bank accounts but by the quality of our relationships.
• To make something of yourself does not involve accumulating things but appreciating people.
• Real achievement comes from a life devoted to service.
• Real triumph comes with victory over the ego.
Men’s Summit
I am fired up about the Men’s Summit this weekend!! If you are a man, get there. If you know a man…get him there!
Even if one man can catch the fire, it will be well worth it. I am going to be posting glimpses of the message conveyed on Friday and Saturday on the blog here. Hopefully, it will get more men interested. (men are so messed up, that we either think we aren’t messed up or we don’t think there is any hope) WRONG.
Today’s Nugget:
“A healthy male points to the unique gifts that God gave him and defines success as the extent to which he maximizes those gifts rather than the extent to which he erases those gifts to conform to a uniform standard of success.” – Rabbi Boteach
Sacrifice
Someone defined sacrifice as “giving up something you love for something you love even more.”
This week we’ll talk about the honor of sacrificing for the glory of God in ministry.
* Do you love reaching people far from God enough to allow some people to leave your church?
* Do you believe in your vision enough to receive criticism from those in your own denomination?
* Do you love reaching teens so much that many adults reject your style of ministry?
* Do you love serving Jesus so much you’ll give up some of life’s comforts to do what God has called you to do?
* Do you love Jesus so much you’re willing to be rejected by your friends because you’re very different from the rest of the world?
What do you love so much that you’re willing to sacrifice for it?
+ Craig Groeschel, pastor of Lifechurch in OK.
