It has been a while now since my last blog. Someone asked me last week if I stopped blogging because the Rangers's lost the series. :-) Not hardly, but all those late nights up watching the Rangers and the time it took to recover from a broken heart made it difficult to write early in the morning. LOL :-)
The truth is that I love blogging, but that in the past couple of weeks it has been off my radar a little. Unannounced, I recently decided to spend more time studying in the morning rather than writing. This will continue for the next couple of weeks, but I intend to begin writing regularly again during Advent Season, which begins on November 27th. This coincides with the JESUS. emphasis which is a church wide campaign in First Baptist Church. In the mean time, I invite you to pray for the church as we begin to focus on the person and purpose of Jesus. It is my desire to lead the church through an intentional season of vision casting and preparation prior to our next 4-7 years of ministry. Notice the progression of emphasis that I have led the church through thus far. 1) FOUNDATION- Prayer as the Foundation of the church. 2) FOCUS- (JESUS.) focus on the person of Jesus and purpose of Jesus (JESUS.) in the church and later in 2012 following this campaign 3) FELLOWSHIP- What does the church do now?
The scriptures read in Proverbs 29:18a "Where there is no vision, the people perish." It is my hope to lead the church to a clear, concise and easily communicated vision. Remember, to fail to plan is to plan to fail. The process FBC is about to undergo is an intentional season of dreaming and planning. Please join with me in praying for this process and for the prayerful response of God's people. For all of you faithful readers, I wanted you to know what the plan is so that you will be aware of my intentions.
Peace In Christ!
