This week’s links.  Good stuff.  Enjoy!

• Loved this post titled, “Breaking News” by Seth Godin.  It got me thinking about all the “breaking news” we have at church.  You know, all the things that we tell everyone are so important, but really do not add value to their life or help them take next steps to Jesus (and if we were honest, we would say we do not want to do it/attend the event either!).  Just something to think about.
• Pete Wilson hit me over the head with his post “Costly Assumptions” (and his podcast that I listened to that included some of the same).  Ouch!  But thanks Pete!
• Perry Noble says “You Don’t Have To Hate Your Life.”  God has created us for a purpose.  When we pursue it, and live it, we will be fulfilled. The difficult part usually becomes living God’s purpose and not our own.
• Lastly, “A Principle Art Of Leadership” by Tim Stevens. Short, concise and yet this principle holds back many, many churches.  Leaders, release your people to do what you cannot and should not be doing!
