I got this list of commandments from Jamey Johnson
Commandments of Current Reality – for next generation leaders:
1. Thou shalt not pretend – quit doing the “positive” churchy stuff…be real in your staff/team meetings.
2. Thou shalt not turn a blind eye – get a pair of glasses if you have to correct your sight.
3. Thou shalt not exaggerate – quit doing the “positive” churchy stuff – AGAIN!
4. Thou shalt not shoot the bearer of bad news – if the church service and strategy stinks – IT STINKS!
5. Thou shalt not hide behind the numbers – pastors and ushers never exaggerate the numbers…do they?
6. Thou shalt not ignore constructive criticism – get emotional help for your insecurity if you have to.
7. Thou shalt not isolate thyself – FIGHT or FLIGHT? Gosh dangit, at least fight once in awhile.
If the next generation leaders could do these things…it would be AWESOME!!
