Light Bulb

I have a postcard taped to the wall above my desk in my office. The postcard reads, "Todo comienza con una idea."

For those of you that don't read Spanish, this means, "Everything begins with an idea."

On the postcard is a picture of a light bulb.

Our God is a creative God, and He has filled you with creativity. You may not even believe that, but if He has put you in a position of leadership and authority in your church or ministry, then your creativity has played a role somewhere along the way.

Foster the growth of your creative ideas. Nurture them the same way that you'd nurture a new baby. Feed them. Attend to them. And then watch them grow and impact your church or ministry!

Study pastors, church leaders, and ministries that seem to thrive on creativity. And don't be afraid to read about non-church creative geniuses such as a Walt Disney or a Steven Spielberg for ideas. God has created you - so be creative yourself!

Everything begins with an idea - so light up your light bulb!
