I need to read this every once in a while because I forget. It’s from Jim Kallam’s [*Risking Church*](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1578566517/dashhouse-20?ref=dashhouse.com):

> We want ministry to be explained in terms that allow us to function as technicians, managers, or building contractors. We want a blueprint to build from and a list to check off as we accomplish each item.

> I want something different.

> I want the leadership of our church to be about creating an atmosphere, an environment where people can fall in love with Jesus. I don’t want technicians who can run a program. I want agents of love who will spread the life of the Spirit through the church.

> This desire drives my engineers and accountants nuts! They want plans; I want an atmosphere, an environment, a community where people can live a new way. Fish can’t swim in the desert of programs. I want living water to create an ocean where beauty thrives.
