Our call is not to improve. Our call is to respond....to His call. I believe we find ourselves knocking at the heartbeat of more and more of the world populace. Innovation and mobility coupled with motivation and opportunity leave us better equipped than ever to succeed at global impact. Even our own vision of who we are and Whose we are heightens this prospect. We are a royal and amazing people who were once not a people at all!
We are not amazing due to self-ingenuity nor self-evaluation. We are amazing because we are direct descendants of His glory, His riches, His power. We shower every morning in His mercy.
Now if we measure ourselves by, let's say our leaders or the congregation as a whole, we might find ourselves overwhelmed by the world's great need. Yet, if we count the number of believers in Jesus world-wide, the works He has going in them, and the strategic missions of so many.....the reportable numbers would be well....unreportable. Only God can calculate all He has going on effectively from continent to continent...from generation to generation...from vision to vision...from dream to fulfilled dream.
Awaken to the Wonder of it all.....I continue to urge. Awaken to the truth that souls are being won today by a faithful few who lived in 935 and 1648 because the Seed sown is eternal in nature. We are soul winners because we are God lovers and people lovers. What a Living God the Living God IS!
WITH GOD.....that's our claim to liking it in the kingdom!
[I'll be leaving in the morning (Wednesday) for Nashville where I'll be speaking that night at Fourth Avenue in Franklin.]

Terry, I have to say...I don't know if I can think of anyone around who writes things that are as consistently good and thought provoking as you do. Thank you for writing what you do.
