Be Thou My Vision

What an exciting time for our church as we go through this Vision/Mission/Values process. Our consultant, Dr. Randy Willingham, www.randywillingham.com, warned us that there would be speed bumps along the way. Wow! Randy also has been encouraging us to have holy conversations (there's a book by that title which he highly recommends) and there have been a lot of those in the last week.

God is good, all the time, and He is guiding our church. He is providing for us all along the way. We must remained focused on worshipping God and sharing Christ with others.

True, our enemy will always throw up distractions along the way, and we must not underestimate nor overestimate his power or abilities. He is a deceiver and his native language is lies. We must be on guard against half-truths and/or deceitful behavior, both in ourselves and in our community. God, give me an undivided heart, that I may fear Your Name!

Our great commission from Jesus, our Visioneer:
Matthew 28...
19Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
