Delivering a Baby
I have the privilege of talking with church planters all the time. I talk with guys who are doing a great job, guys who will do a great job, and guys who could go either way. With that in mind…
One statement that I hear consistently is that “it’s easier to deliver a baby than it is to raise the dead”. You definitely can’t argue against that; however, it doesn’t mean that delivering a baby is easy. I’ve never done it, but I am assuming (based on how much it cost) that delivering a baby is a little complicated.
The same is true of planting a church. You have to do your homework, spend massive amounts of time with God, and learn from people who are ahead of you. If you don’t – regardless of how “innovative”, “relevant”, or “biblical” you think you are, your church planting journey will be a short one.
