Last Call Quotes

“If we could free up the time pastors devote to prepping their sermons, and making sure the choir is ready, and leading trustees meetings, and figuring out the next stewardship campaign, we would create the time for them to be in the parks with the least and the lost, to be with those who are hurting, to be in prayer and contemplation to reenergize themselves, and to lead others to do all of these same things (which they will do when they see their pastor doing it). I truly believe that if we give our pastors time to love people, people will follow suit!”

“Established, tall-steeple, fixed-pew churches are like Budweiser. They work for plenty of people. But not for everyone. And the number of people they are working for is shrinking. The church needs to start thinking like a microbrew: offer something different. Not because you think it’s going to be the next big thing; it may just be the next—thing.”
