They are heady stuff that enliven people and move mountains. That's an important starting point for ministry in every generation. Every pastor needs dreams that are passionately focused on the gospel and its supernatural effect on people who make up the congregation he serves. Sadly, it is not always the case. Our church services feel like we are tossing prayers into a wishing well.
Worship is empty.
Those despairing comments in a recent letter from a conscientious Midwest pastor are too common. It's alarming how many dreamers are reducing Kingdom commitments at a time when dreams and dreamers are needed most. The dreams Christ gives us for our lives and for our ministry can't be allowed to die. Something must be done to revive them quickly. So much depends on the combined dreams of pastors across North America.
