  15. Planting Landmines • The beauty of church planting is that there isn’t anyone to tell us what to do; we have freedom. • The pathology of church planting is that there isn’t anyone to tell us what to do, we have freedom to become abusers.

  16. Unchecked Strength • Planters … who have the ability to start churches from scratch also have some other abilities that can be misused: attractive personalities, relationship-building, empathy, and solid communication skills to name a few. • Couple that with the fact that new churches exist to reach out to a hurting and needy world, and Satan has a pretty good opportunity to exploit us. The people we target to reach with the gospel come with enough baggage that, when joined with our own weaknesses, lead to powerful volatility. • Tom Nebel
