things to learn and unlearn

well...doing some reading earlier today and came across this list...thought you might enjoy it as well...it is from Rick Warren....
need to learn humility. need to unlearn our consumer approach to spirituality. need to learn a new approach to mission. need to unlearn our dependence on specialized ministries. need to learn to go and serve. need to unlearn our method of goal-setting. need to learn that the so-called average Christian can do ministry. need to unlearn our desire to pray...our instinctive reflex toward a problem is to throw money at it vs praying. need to learn to trust the people we serve.
interesting thoughts for me as I continue to ponder new ways of doing ministry...
your thoughts?

how do you unlearn the desire to pray?

Pastor Lee Thompson said...

the fact is we don't have an intense desire to pray...so the desire that we do have to not really pray is what needs to be unlearned...and in turn obtain a new thirst for time in prayer.
