Today I will be providing a series of posts from my annual visit to Johnny Hunt’s Mens Conference in Woodstock, GA. This year’s theme is Game Plan. Over 4,000 men will be live in attendance with another 25,000 attending via simulcast around the world.
The first breakout speaker was Robby Lewis. Robby is the College & Young Singles Pastor at First Baptist Church Woodstock focusing on developing fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ by engaging the culture and equipping believers. Robby desires to see believers own their faith and live in obedience to God’s commands. His session was entitled The Catalyst For Living The Transformed Life.
The following are 21 leadership quotes and lessons from his energetic session:
- I like to start early so I can finish early.
- Obedience to the Lord is the catalyst for living a transformed life.
- It never fails.There’s somebody not listening.
- Does it make you a bad Christian if you doubt God?
- Will I choose obedience or unbelief?
- Opportunity for unbelief comes at the most inopportune times.
- They (Israelites) were allowing their unbelief to keep them imprisoned in fear.
- God may place trials in our lives so He may ultimately bring us to our knees.
- Has the Lord not provided for us immensely and yet we doubt Him constantly.
- Where we do not have a promise from God we must trust His nature.
- Some of us are so distracted by the waters around us we are forgetting the instruction of our God.
- Living the transformed life means having a renewed mind.
- We must change the way we look at things.
- When we are faithful to the Lord He will supply all our needs, not our wants.
- Sometimes it is easy to mistake patience for what is really passivity.
- Faith isn’t passive. It is active.
- We must change the way we think.. so we can focus on Him and the unknown.
- The people who know if you obey the Lord the most are the ones around you the most.
- When we listen to the Lord and obey His Word, He shows us our path, not our destination.
- If God showed us the destination, some of us would not go.
- It is hard to obey the Lord when we never stop to listen to Him.
Tomorrow’s first speaker will be Keith Boggs. Keith leads REAL MOMENTUM Ministries and helps churches establish an effective disciple-making ministry to men [offering men’s ministry coaching, local church men’s events, and strategic mission partnerships.
