New Year – Old Stuff

Around January 1, there is an awful lot written about the new year.

New resolutions

New weight goals

New reading goals

New projects

But what about those things that are tried and true? You know, the basics. The “block and tackling” kinds of things that keep you strong in your ministry leadership. Not everything new is worth starting. Some of the best things you can do for yourself and your ministry leadership is to simply keep on keeping on. Things like,

Reading the Bible for yourself every day

Meditating on His Word

Taking breaks every once in a while

Being present in the moment when someone needs you

So this new year, what are you going to KEEP doing to stay strong?
