GREAT reminder from Twitter

I have been really digging Twitter lately. It is actually killing my blog because I am able to throw up quick comments on it and I don’t have to do it here. Twitter has grown pretty quick and for the last two weeks, their growth has affected them in huge ways. They are down more than they are up, different features aren’t working and it is very frustrating.

I have read several people saying they are done with it and I understand. I am about there myself. The thing is, it has only been about 2 weeks. We don’t even have the patience to recognize that they are having growing pains and stick with them longer then two weeks? As I was thinking about that, it hit me the importance of making sure everything is clicking every time we meet as a church.

People are not very patient and aren’t drawn to things that are not done with excellence and don’t run right. Every time the video screws up, the sound sucks, I drop the ball teaching, or the band doesn’t click could be the last straw for someone who is checking our place out. We might never get a second chance to show them how great our church is because of mistakes.

Twitter is great. I love keeping up friends, I love seeing what the people of Revolution are doing and it has changed my prayer life. I pray for our people more than ever because I know what is happening. I love the interaction, but as great as it is, I am very close to walking away because the product isn’t up to par. GREAT lesson for the church.
