I had a great time last week with Bishop Jim Bolin.  It has been 25 years since he started Trinity Chapel and they continue to reach several thousand people in the community of Powder Springs.  Here are a couple of his thoughts…

• “Anointing and power attract.  If you don’t have safeguards in your life than it is the recipe for the perfect storm.”
• “Build bridges.”  Help people get to the place that God desires for them to be - one step at a time.
• “Don’t get comfortable with success. As your community develops and changes - you will have to re-invent yourself in order to reach those who are far from God.”
• “Keep your stories and help people remember how you got to where you are.”
• “Never short-change the power of God and never stop celebrating the Awe of God.”
• “Jesus is more than a principle to follow!”

If you are a church planter/pastor/staff member of a church - he made an unbelievable statement that I will never forget.  The funny thing is that I can’t write it on the blog.  It’s a variation of the three most common temptations and it is good stuff.

If you want to know what it is - let me know and I will tell you.
