Do Less. Do BETTER. april 26, 2013 by artie 1 comment When Steve Jobs returned to Apple, one of the first things he did was slash the number of products Apple produced from almost 400 to just 10! He understood one entity can’t do that many things well, and its been said that an organization is only as strong as its weakest product. In churches, we have so much more at stake than a bottom line. I have certainly seen where that holds true in the church world. Too often as leaders we feel that the more things we offer, the more likely we are to catch something using such a wide variety of bait…Not so! We really need to be honest with ourselves and ask the hard questions about the real Kingdom fruit we’re seeing from any activity that has our name on it, and requires resources. The truth is, there is no possible way for any leader or church to put enough resources in many things and make those many things effective and excellent. Find what works. Find those 3 or 4 things that fit your culture, community, and context and do them… BETTER. Pour yourself and your church’s resources and effort into those few things that you hear God telling you to do. The results won’t be having the world’s richest company, but you’re sure to begin to see kingdom impact all around you! Have you found this principle to work too? (Artie Davis)
