As I mentioned last week, a couple years ago, God gave me a vision
of uniting the churches of Fulton, MO for a common cause. He brought to mind all the churches I had connections with and others
that I could use as resources to reach into a few of the others.
The vision came in a time where God had revealed to me that
He wanted me to be a youth pastor, but also that there are hurting people
around us regardless of where we are. Since that time, God has been working on
me in different ways, I believe, shaping
me to a place where I can begin
this journey down this road with Him.
27 And he answered, “ You
shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and
with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself.”
-Luke 10:27
This verse has been swirling around
in my head a lot lately and I think it is the approach God wants me to use in
carrying out this vision. For me this
verse has become a way to view those who believe differently than I do. If they truly love God with all their heart,
mind, soul, and strength then God is working on them the same way He is working
on me. We are on a journey together and
we are like minded, regardless of what our “doctrinal” beliefs are. I believe a
love like this sets a place on fire. Walls that separate churches are
torn down because reaching the lost is more important than any of our personal
preferences.
I trust God will show me what is next.
