Effective Pastor Conference

Here are some quotable quotes from the Effective Pastor conference I attended yesterday at the Urban Impact center in Hialeah.

Regarding a pastor's spiritual formation...

"First you make your habits, then your habits make you."

"The neglect of spiritual disciples is willful."

"Grace is opposed to earning, but it is not opposed to effort."

Regarding a pastor's integrity...

"Vulnerability is not transparency. It involves more risk and it offers more reward."

"He who tells white lies will soon become color blind."

Regarding a pastor's love for his church...

"Ineffective pastors put more emphasis on the organizational structure of the church. Effective pastors zero in on the nature of the church and its source in God."

Any thoughts?
