Vision and the Church
|
I believe it is Proverbs 28:19 that says “Where there is no vision, the people will perish”. (Sorry, don’t have my Bible in front of me!) Anyway, we talked about that verse in our high school Bible study last night. How important is vision to the church? I haven’t been in too many ministerial positions, but one thing I have seen is this: When a church has a vision, the church will be focused and it grows. If a church does not have a vision, the church just sits and exists. I believe the same holds true for our own personal relationships with Jesus. Something else that I have noticed … when someone has a vision for the church, that same vision is generally given to other people of the church. I may be wrong, but when God wants to do something in His church he will not just let one person know. Any ideas? Something positive out of the Bible study last night. Two high school students took me to an old abondoned church here in town. The family of one of the students owns the property. They told me that they want to fix it up and have youth worship services there. What I find amazing is that I have heard this vision before from other people. Maybe God is wanting to do something. We will have to wait and see. Anyway, something to chew on. Tell me what you think?!@?! T-bob |
You are so good at writing that I am almost out of my mind with jealousy.
