Semper Reforma!


I don't know about you, but just when I think I got it all figured out and ministry is rolling right along - WHAMO! things need to be changed AGAIN!

My last post involved building a ministry plan (which I still strongly believe in) but what I've come to realize over the years is that if I'm not willing to tweak the plan, grow the plan, work the plan then ministry will dry up. Now my ministry has not dried up but it did come to a point to where major tweaking had to be done - and it seemingly was happening against my will.

Semper Reforma (always reforming)! As ministers of the gospel, as those called to carry out ministry in the kingdom of God and in His Church we must be open to change and to always reforming what we think is "the best show in town." If you and I are not willing to honestly look at our programing, retreats, discipleship plan at least once a year and ask "how can I make it better," or "what's missing," then our model of discipleship will become staginant and ineffective.

So, semper reforma this Fall! What needs to be improved?
