It's time to repent when ______

A few thoughts running through my mind this morning.

It's time to repent when ______

* When a Pastor begins to care more about how much the offering was instead of how many souls were saved.

* When you cater to the critics instead of forging ahead with the vision God has given you.

* When you change your focus to how do we keep the congregation happy instead of how do we reach our community for Christ?

* When you spend more time talking about what God did in the past than what He is doing today.

* When your "quiet time" is your sermon prep.

* When fear replaces faith.

* When "convenience" and "what's easiest?" trumps an attitude of whatever-it-takes to reach people for Christ.

* When optimism is replaced with pessimism.

* When the pursuit holiness is replaced by the pursuit of happiness.

* When The Bible becomes equal or secondary to any other book.

* When the reliance of being "cool", "slick" and "hip" to reach people outweighs our reliance on the Holy Spirit.


There's probably hundreds more I could come up with, but lots to do today!
