RT PerryNoble Ideas for Church Planters:

    13-You'll change your mind-innovative will become traditional. Don't allow pride make people talk about what God used to do!!

    12-You'll be tempted to copy success.BUT God called you & can trust you with what He's given you

    9- You are going to have to choose whether to please insiders or reach outsiders-you cannot do both.

    -You are going to have to be WAY more passionate about what you are for rather than what you are against!

    -If it is God's will then it is God's bill!What the King wants the King pays for!

    6-There will be financial pressure with God's vision."Is THIS what God wants" not "Can we afford it?"

    4 & 5-Some "great friends" & "always with you" will leave. Some you don't know now will be friends & partners

    2&3-You'll have doubters-those used to "pave the parking lot" not "reach the world" faith-especially you!

    1-You have to pray & take huge steps of faith to see dreams God placed in you become reality.
