Practice and Adapt
Week 13
Day 85 (Saturday): Dress Rehearsal
Today’s Big Idea: No bigger barns. As we get ready to launch this project, take a moment to step back and consider what we’re doing—and what we’re not doing. When we’re working so hard, it’s easy to get caught up in the fun, the work, and the hype. That’s why there’s no better time than right now to remind ourselves that we need to keep Christ’s plans and God’s glory the center of our focus.
Key Verse: “Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; life does not consist in an abundance of possessions” (Luke 12:15).
Thoughts to Consider: Bigger barns. When we stop and think about it, all our plans stack up as nothing more than bigger barns. As George Carlin used to joke about many years ago, it’s all just “a place for my stuff.” As you spend the day in rehearsal and preparation for the upcoming Launch Day, remember that the point of this event, program, or change is not to become a bigger church or to be better than another church, but to use all your resources to worship Jesus and serve others with greater effectiveness.

This devotional is a companion to the book 100 Days to a Healthier Church, by Karl Vaters. Like the book, the principles laid out here are not one-time, quick-fix solutions. They are long-term principles—nudges, not jumps(the tortoise, not the hare.) It is divided into four main steps over 14 weeks. It works best when it starts on a Saturday, so this devotional is designed with that in mind.
