One of the troubles with launching a church (and I’m assuming launching anything) may be that at times the process gets so overwhelming you forget what you struck out to launch in the first place.
Keeping the Main Thing the Main Thing is an old term. But, a good old term.
In 1 Corinthians 13 Paul says that we can do lots of things, and in fact, many of these are great things. Feeding the poor, preaching great sermons, writing a few books, going to school, writing songs, making (and even giving) some money, putting on stellar events, and being a downright jolly-good human being.
But, he says if we forget love, we didn’t do much at all.
So, in your effort today, keep the Main Thing the Main Thing. And be sure that your Main Thing is love. A heart that views others as God views them and hands that hold others as only you may be able.
Tony has been part of the Crossroads Church team in Corona CA for 3 years and is the founder of Generate, a next-generational gathering that weekly attracts over 2000 students and young adults. Tony (and wife Bre) decided in early 2010 it was time to write a new story of hope and carry their passion to an ever expanding portion of Southern CA as the Teaching Pastor of the new Moment Church of Orange County, coming Spring 2011.
