Why do we get distracted?
When the team doesn’t know, doesn’t understand, or doesn’t agree with the vision of your organization there will be distraction. Why? Because they are not motivated by the same vision you have. And when someone is testing their own actions against a different set of filters, they make different decisions.
My friend, and fellow worrier, Chris and his new website assistant Janine from North Shore Church sat down for several hours today so they could learn how to use their new website. He went home and posted his first blog entry already tonight. I’m impressed.
So what’s the bid deal? Is a website so important for a church?
I thought it was a joke when I first heard it. On April 10 the top 8 contestants on American Idol sing “Shout To The Lord”. I have to say this is the best I have ever heard it done.
If you’re not sure how to use this in your church, I suggest reading “Pop Goes The Church” before you make any critical comments.
A friend recently wrote a blog called “Blogging Tips” – where he listed (among other things) that you should keep your blog positive. I agree. Writing about positive things helps us to stay positive, and I don’t believe that being critical of others is usually our job. Besides, there are always enough critical people our there, we need more positive.
