Hi Stan

I can only affirm what you have written!!!

Have you ever considered that God might be calling you to plant a church?

Rick Warren says "Its easier to have a baby than raise the dead".

Andy Stanley often comments that people leave his conferences, quit their jobs as pastors, find another job, and then start a church. They would rather go back to working in a secular job than continue to go through the motions in a church that won't become missional.

Not in anyway suggesting this is God's call on your life. Just putting it out there.

Mark
