mistakes. Not mess-ups. I'm talking about utter, unquestionable
failure. Because if I don't actually know what failure would be for me,
then it will be most difficult to avoid it. Here are 10 ways to fail.
3. See thousands of strangers believe the gospel when I preach yet
watch my own children reject the gospel when they grow up.
6. Spend all my money and resources on my wants while neglecting the
needs of my brothers and sisters when it is in my power to help them.
8. Miss opportunities to bless, honor, and support other pastors and
leaders because I am waiting on them to bless, honor, and notice me.
9. Never have fun because I was too serious about my calling, my
preaching, my writing, or my ministry responsibilities.
10. Grow old without the deep, abiding love and friendships that I
would miss if I never took the time to invest in people, beginning with
my wife.
