Two Axioms for Effective Ministry

Distractions dilute desire. Don’t kid yourself. Distractions can derail even the most focused person, especially in a church setting where so many members are still in spiritual diapers and expect the pastor to do everything spiritual for them.

Focus fuels desire.  The more a person focuses on something, the more that person desires to see it fulfilled, and the quicker that person pulls the trigger and takes action.  When desire for something consumes a person’s every waking moment, odds are something is going to happen, either good or bad.

Distractions dilute desire, but focus fuels it.
