Be not Do

I know I fall into the trap thinking that the more activity I do, the more personal growth I will experience.

It doesn't make sense: more activity should equal more personal satisfaction and growth.

But it doesn't work that way.

It's the difference between running on a treadmill and running in a race.

The treadmill takes energy, but leads nowhere.

The race takes focused energy and the ending is rewarding.

The more treadmills we have, the more tireder we get.

Especially in the church world.

Read Will Mancini's excellent post for churches here:

Tyranny of More
