Work on it!

I absolutely loved this post from Ben Arment. In a recent post he said this...

To get better at what we do, we have to work on it, not just in it.

How many pastors get so lost in message prep that they neglect to work on the structure of the message? They give the audience all of their study... rather than the fruit of it.

How many churches continue to do the same, ineffective things over and over again because they get bogged down in the activities... rather than work on what activities to pursue?
