Well this past week has gone fast and it has been filled with all kinds of things that are common in the life of the church. We see people who are in the hospitals, visit people in the nursing homes and in their own homes. Death, birth and everything in between are the common things that take place here.
One of the difficult pieces that come to play in the life of our congregation is the attempt to figure out what should be done to enable us to move forward as a local body of believers. I have been reading a book, "Taking Your Church to the Next Level" and the subtitle is What got you here won't get you there" by Gary L. McIntosh. Therein lies the problem--I find that I know how to get to where we are at but it is a struggle learnign what must take place for us to move foward. I ask you to pray with me on this issue because I believe that God wants us to win souls, grow disciples and honor Him in all that we do. I cannot reconcile not moving forward with the mission of the church or the Person of our God. Pray that the local congregation, the pastoral staff, the administrative staff, and other leadership will be able to see what our God desires.
I will be in Camargo, Ky preaching the campmeeting there next week. Pray that God will be present and that we will hear from Him. Have a great week.
