I want to issue four challenges for our church that require faith but will dramatically effect our future. We must be Visionaries not Victims . It's Easy to be a Victim. Our society rewards victims. Most of the time, people who think of themselves as victims shift responsibility for their lives to someone else.
Churches can buy into being victims.
Let's not make excuses but take God at His word. It Takes Faith to be Visionary. We must learn to dream big dreams for God. We must learn that despite our mistakes and failures, God still wants to use us. We need a vision that is so big that if God doesn't show up it will fail.
