I have turned down most opportunities to serve on board type things, but I did serve, in the 1990s, briefly on the board of the IFBAM (an association of church’s here in MI) and held an office with the AACCS (in connection with our seminary). I agreed to both because I felt they had direct connection to my present ministry. I didn’t want to give the impression, which I think I did, that I have never served on a board. I have turned down most opportunities to do so and presently do not serve on any.

Kent, this is probably the area where we are closest to each other–our independence. How’s that for irony.

Just in case you check back. I agreed with what you wrote. It’s how I practice too.

hi Dave,

Thanks for your insominiac cures. I wasn’t being too serious about those questions, since I pretty well knew the answers. They just seemed to be a bit of an off the wall possible conclusion from your post. As I said, I do agree with most of your observations in the post. I am sincere when I say that! I think it helps clarify some things about the current state of affairs.

Maranatha!

1. I didn’t say that there is no place for conferences, but that they aren’t the answer. To the degree that they advance the things mentioned in the last paragraph, I will, as allowed, participate for my own edification and, hopefully, of others.
2. Not sure how this relates to my concern, but the answer is no. If I can be of help to pastors and local churches through publications, then I’d love to do that as the Lord allows.
3. I am not on the board of any organizations outside of my local church. I’ve been turning those down for almost 20 years and plan to keep doing so.

Hope you can sleep better tonight knowing the answers to this very important questions.
