We Get What We Pay Attention To
At a recent seminar Gil Rendle reminded us again that "we get what we pay attention to." Wherever we focus our time and attention, there is where we will find we produce more.
The implications of this simple truth are enormous. If we pay attention to dysfunctional members, we will get dysfunctional members. If we pay attention to new members that's what we'll get.
Coupled to this truth is the axiom, "If we keep doing what we have been doing, we will keep getting what we have been getting."
Pay attention to the risen Christ, the one to whom the church belongs. Focus on his great commission to go out into our communities to find people who need Christ. Let us give ourselves, our energies and our efforts to those outside our own four walls. In doing so we will be paying attention to that which is important to God.
