#15 – No one is ever challenged to radically rearrange their lives to be a part of what God is doing.
#14 – God hasn’t asked you to give something up.
#13 – Everyone in your church is perfect. (If you are truly reaching lost people then you will discover that ministry is messy.)
#12 – Nothing in regards to how you lead has changed in the past year.
#11 – When your youth group wants to do something you make them have a bake sale in front of Wal Mart–but when your senior adults want to do something the church covers the cost; after all, they are tithers! (And that same church will wonder why “the youth don’t come to church anymore.”)
#10 – You always find something wrong with ministries that are seeing fruit.
#9 – You can do everything you have in front of you WITHOUT the help of God AND others.
#8 – You spend more time on other churches websites than you do reading your Bible.
#7 – You think the answer to every problem is, “If we just had more money.”
#6 – No one has ever left your church.
#5 – You continually call other churches begging them for money.
#4 – You allow people with money to dictate the way you spend your time and the direction of the church.
#3 – When you go to a conference and come back and announce “we are changing everything” because you have received INSPIRATION not REVELATION.
#2 – You’ve never spent sleepless nights wondering, “How in heck are we going to do this? Seriously, I told our church we were going to do WHAT?”
#1 – You worry more about keeping the people in your church happy then you do about pleasing God and speaking the truth.
