Featured Interview
Influence Beyond the Curb – Evangelism and Community Impact

One of the questions pastors frequently ask pertains to what’s working effectively in other churches, especially in the areas of outreach and evangelism.  I was recently with Pastor Doug Bird in Roseville, California, and witnessed a personification of Paul’s admonition to Timothy—a pastor—that he do the work of an evangelist.  I interviewed Doug about their powerful and effective outreaches, and he shared excellent insights that will inspire and help ministers and believers.

CHANGE
“The only person who likes change is a wet baby.”
- Unknown



EXPECTATIONS
“He who grows in grace remembers that he is but dust, and he therefore does not expect his fellow Christians to be anything more. He overlooks ten thousand of their faults, because he knows his God overlooks twenty thousand in his own case. He does not expect perfection in the creature, and, therefore, he is not disappointed when he does not find it. When our virtues become more mature, we shall not be more tolerant of evil; but we shall be more tolerant of infirmity, more hopeful for the people of God, and certainly less arrogant in our criticisms.”
-C. H. Spurgeon

POTENTIAL
“The jump is so frightening between where I am and where I could be… Because of all that I may become, I will close my eyes and leap.”
- Mary Ann Radmacher

CHURCH
“Big wind, lotta dust, no rain.”
- American Indian chief after attending church

ASSOCIATION
“If you run with wolves, you will learn how to howl.  But if you associate with eagles, you will learn how to soar to great heights.”
- Unknown
