]]> Comment on Recognizing Your Saboteur (Day 27 of Unstuck) by Brett http://brettselby.com/recognizing-your-saboteur-day-27-of-unstuck/comment-page-1/#comment-1625 Brett Tue, 31 Jan 2012 15:34:53 +0000 http://brettselby.com/?p=2069#comment-1625 Thanks Ron. I appreciate your encouraging words. The difference between the writing on my blog and the writing I do for LifeWay is the difference running your own business and working for someone else. They both have their pros and cons. Writing SS materials follows a very prescribed process and there is limited room to "improvise", if you will. I enjoy doing both and I'll be reflecting on your observations because I think they can help me become a better communicator for the sake of the kingdom and the gospel. I appreciate you, brother.

I am an Oklahoma Baptist (member-First Baptist of Moore) and a local Builder/Developer. I just returned from a week in Zambia where I enjoyed also reading (in small letters on my Blackberry) daily this series. I had a question though. When i saw you wrote the Sunday School quarterlies (or whatever were calling them these days) for the Association I was excited. I thought I know this guy and he's got skills. However as I read a few of them, I was kinda let down. I always assumed those guys that wrote them were the old classic fudi-duti baptist that were boring. Not to sound critical, but yours seemed to follow the same theme and format. Is somebody up there instructing this. If needed please pass this to the powers at be. Next time tell them to let "your dog's loose". Lets raise the bar! No body ever passes the "lead horse" and as far as i am concerned you is one a them. Respectfully, Ron W. Walters-OKC Brett,

We want to 'protect' the people inside the church as though contact with the world through missions and evangelism will somehow corrupt the purity of who we are. When we say we want to protect the care of current church members we miss the truth that these members are partners in the mission and should be extending care to one another. The traditions we hold dear became that way because someone found a way to advance the mission of the church that worked for that time. The greatest way to protect the church is to build our values around every member, every Believer, living to fulfill their God-given purpose. In doing so God's people in the church will be cared for as each member is engaged in ministry and tradition will be honored in the appropriate light of it's value to accomplish the mission and ministry of the church. Thanks for the article and the series. God bless, Chad I’ve always thought this was an interesting argument.
