Hey gang,
I am convinced that we are better together! It is also clear that us being together is the perfect will of our Lord. Years ago I heard Tony Evans tell a story I would like to relate to you. There was a security guard at the insane asylum whose job it was to guard the gate during the time the patients were outside. Every day he would stand his post while 500 emotionally disturbed patients walked the grounds. Daily a neighbor would pass by and watch the guard stand at his post. One day the passer-by stopped and started up a conversation. “I watch you here at the gate without a gun and guarding against the escape of the patients. Aren’t you afraid? The patients could get together and overpower you and escape.” “No way I never worry, crazy people never get together.”
Are we Christ followers crazy? We never get together! We need to wake up and see the big picture of the redemption of our generation. Jesus has called and commissioned each of us to get involved with the building of His Kingdom.
Are you in? Faith and sacrifice are daily requirements to make a difference in this Godless culture.
Together We Can Make a Difference! God is building networks and partnerships for the express reason to reach people without Christ. I have been amazed at the relationships that I have been able to make recently. These new relationships all want to build leaders to impact the Kingdom. We are not to be building our empire but His Kingdom.
Are you in? Let’s get together
love ya,
Pastor
Hello Dr. Stephens! Love this post! I’m with you and the Ridge is with you as well in believing that we can reach more, do more, and build more TOGETHER. I’d love to get together with you sometime and talk about how we can help make that happen as we reach Oak Ridge and beyond!
