Have you ever been at the door way of opportunity before? Well I feel like that is where we are standing right now as a church. I feel this urgency inside right now that makes me feel uncomfortable all the time. I know that God is saying to us as a church that it is time to step out into the promise, but at the same time I know that God is asking us for more than He has ever asked us for. I have been really wrestling with God on this whole deal, because I don't know exactly how to express what is going on in my heart right now, but I think it is huge.
Here is the honest truth (I guess that I shouldn't have to say that as a pastor) It would be a lot easier for me to settle with where we are as a church right now then to really press on into what I believe is coming. Truthfully though it would border on insanity for me to want to do that, because I have been following God's lead up to this point and, I believe, having been preaching, teaching and leading into this moment for the past three and a half years. I have a million excuse why I shouldn't or wouldn't press through, such as, we live in a small town, we've said all this before and haven't seen it happen, and we live in Canada.
All of these thoughts and ideas are, in my opinion, are putting limitations on the ability and power of God, and also providing a comfortable out for you and for me. Let me ask you this question, why can't we do something really great for God? (I can hear some of you right now. We are doing great things for God aren't we?) to be continued..........
