The only tweak I would make is this: Sharing a desperate need for funds is not selling anything. It's challenging the people of God to worship God not just with their words, but with their wallet. Money where your mouth is. God wants to turn us into the generous givers he desires us to be. A preacher that doesn't ask for money is robbing his congregation of the opportunity to worship fully, in spirit and in truth. Now, sure, you need to clarify your motives when you challenge folks to give. But you must challenge them. Especially Americans. We bow down at the altar of the dollar way too often. It's nice to see our dollars submitting to the King every now and then. I like everything in this list. The only tweak I would make is this:

Every single sermon. Every. Single. Sermon. 2) Never preach anything that wouldn't be true if Jesus hadn't come, died, and rose. I do believe those first started kicking around in my head courtesy of Ed Stetzer... If you're preaching, then I think you need at least to have these two rules:
