I was recently reading some material from the USA about valuing church and was struck by one particular comment:
I love my church because it's sort of like the Wizard of Oz - it's about having a heart and a brain. And courage! That may not be the most obvious way of expressing what we need in order to be an effective church, but I think it sums it up.
Too often we find ourselves struggling, unsure, making excuses. I understand why that happens - but I want to encourage you to grab the opportunities that God puts your way, and not to worry about those that don't arise.
Wonderful thoughts.
ReplyDeleteI think we should strive to have all three in our lives and churches. I think it is revealed in the powerful spirit that God has given us.
Keep up the great post and blogging.
You do a fantastic job.
