Today I drove over to Ormond Beach to the Beachside Church for an area ministers meeting. It usually is mainly senior ministers but today it was all youth ministers but one. It was great to hear what is going on at all their churches and to listen to the struggles that we all are having and everyone pitching in with helpful ideas. But the best part was praying for each other and the real problems that are going on at each church. We didn’t talk numbers. We didn’t talk trash about other area churches. We were real and you could feel God’s presence as we prayed for each other.
It so amazes me how unbiblical we church leaders can be. Sometimes these meetings turn into church bashing, complaining sessions, and bragging meetings. But not today!
