Found on the Sovereign Grace Ministries blog:

At the Next 2010 Conference, Kevin DeYoung gave a list of suggestions for “How to be a difference maker in a local church.”  A few of them were:

• Find a good local church. 
• Get involved.
• Become a member. 
• Stay there as long as you can. 
• Put away thoughts of a revolution for a while.
• Be patient with your leaders. 
• Rejoice when the gospel is faithfully proclaimed.
• Bear with those who hurt you. 
• Give people the benefit of the doubt. 
• Be thankful someone vacuumed the carpet for you. 
• Enjoy the Sundays that “click.” 
• Pray extra hard on the Sundays that don’t.
