1. The gospel informs the doctrine, not the doctrine the gospel.
2. If we don’t multiply as a church we will die.
3. If we can simply agree on where we are going, we’ll be able to figure out how to get there…together!
4. Unity does not mean we always agree, but it does mean we will do all we can to get along in spite of disagreement.
5. Our structures must adjust to allow us to be empowered, not endangered.
6. Freedom without responsibility is anarchy.
7. Responsibility without authority is misery.
8. I don’t know everything, but this I do know: I don’t know everything.
9. I’m not sure “comfortable” is a Kingdom value.
10. God is God, we are not. We need to get used to it!

Hi Pastor Scott,
I came upon your blog by accident awhile back and, regretfully, haven't been back recently. But it strikes me, again, while reading your blog, that you and my husband (whom I firmly believe will Pastor again) have much in common. (Except for the boys. :) I think you both love the Lord, love your wife, and love to laugh.
Hey, maybe I should introduce you. Shucks, why not?... :)
