For our nation and for the entire world for that matter there has been a lot going on, and it is easy during hard times to allow what you see to cause you to go into a tailspin of despair. Our church is on the verge of some really big decisions. These are decisions that will affect the course and direction of our ministry from now on. Some may call it disruption, you could call it change, some will call it an overhaul, and I call it good!
I have read post after post from pastors talking about the difficulty in change, the hardship of change, the issues of change, and all of those things are true…But what I like most is the necessity of change. It is impossible for true growth to take place without change! Something has got to give in order for something to be different. It is true that all change is not good, but it is also true that stagnation is never a good thing.
Many times hardship and change look like problems, but to me, it looks like possibility! Our church is now pregnant with possibility. The possibility of reaching many more people for Christ, the possibility of impacting the marketplace like never before, the possibility of making the name of Jesus even more famous. To say that I am excited is an understatement, to say that this is going to be easy would also be an understatement…but pregnancy is not something that is easy, but it is something that is rewarding…
For all of you who are facing some difficulty, do not look at it as a problem, look at it like it is potential… And Word of Faith, prepare yourself for labor…Man I am excited… This thing is getting better and better everyday…. I just love what I get to do….
