"I Was Not Disobedient"

How do we live our lives with purpose and direction? It will only be possible if we diligently seek God's vision of WHO we really are!

Christ is risen!

“Vision” has been something of a buzzword in the Leadership Training manual for some time. Of course, these Leadership gurus get this foundational principle from the Holy Scriptures when King Solomon declared, “Where there is no vision, the people perish; but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.” (Proverbs 29:18)

I like how that verse is translated elsewhere when it translates “the people perish” as “the people cast off restraints.” There is some powerful wisdom in the truth that without a controlling vision, a goal, or an understanding of ultimate purpose, we humans will wander around, trying this or that path, not knowing that most of these paths, fed by selfishness, lead us to destruction.

By the way, when we pull in different directions, that doesn’t mean we aren’t well intended. It means we’ve not done the work necessary to all get on the same page! And that means we aren’t taking seriously the command that we be “one” in Christ!

That’s a symptom of a spiritual illness, so don’t stop with identifying our disunity. Keep digging for the true cause, and don’t just complain about the symptoms!
