Hey your sermon is burnt…

Steven Furtick’s words come at a good time…
“I’m honored that lots of pastors all over the world read this blog.
And as another weekend of preaching and teaching quickly approaches, I
thought I’d pass along to Senior Pastors everywhere something one of my
friends and mentors shared with me.
Craig Groeschel recently challenged me to stop overcooking my sermons.
This doesn’t mean study less, pray less, and mail it in.
In fact, when you stop overcooking the sermon, you’ll probably find your prayer and study time increasing, not decreasing.
What will decrease is the amount of time and energy that you spend obsessing over the incidentals.
Does it really matter if your joke is perfectly timed?
Will anyone’s eternity be jeopardized if your outline isn’t perfectly parallel and alliterated?
If you pop the clutch on the transitions, will your church fall apart?
Instead, obsess over what really matters. Prepare your heart. Ask
God to give you prophetic insight in your application. Master the text.
Feel the burden. Lose yourself in the anointing of God.
And let it fly this Sunday.”

Saying up later - Making the sacrifice

I have decided that I need to milk my day for all it is worth. I know I do well on 6 hours of sleep. It is time to streamline my schedule. Starting tonight Midnight is bedtime and 6am is wake time. There is so much reading, writing and study I want to do. It is time to count the cost and make the sacrifice.
So my question is, what is your remedy for pulling long hours? Mountain Dew, Red Bull, NoDoz, Triple Shot Espresso… I am open to suggestions.
