"To accomplish great things, We must not only act, But also dream; Not only plan, But also believe."
Anatole France
We must Believe Again, for there is so much in which to believe:
Believe: God has plans for us, plans not to harm But to prosper, to give us a future and hope! Jer. 29:11
Nothing is impossible for God! Luke 1:37
He who began a good work in us will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ! Phil. 1:6
God will renew our strength! Isa. 40:31
God will restore to us the years the locusts have eaten away! Joel 2:28
Already we are more than conquerors! Rom. 8:37
God is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we could ask or think! Eph. 3:20
IT IS TIME TO BELIEVE AGAIN:
in a Church that not only expects and anticipates, but invites the lead and move of God’s Holy Spirit; a Church whose plans, pursuits, and purposes line up with the Will and Word of God; a Church that does not follow the pack – but sets the pace!
in a Church that answers in the Call of God to what is unique unto herself, as well as responds to what is universal about the Call of God to all of His people, not a Church that merely echoes or mimics what it hears and sees God doing somewhere else, with someone else
in a Church where praise and expressive, exuberant worship are encouraged as a mandate of God – not treated as an option
in a Church where God still calls the sons and daughters of Allen to serve this present age; a Church that does not cast off, but cares for her retirees, widows and others whose labors have made – and still can make a difference; in a Church that in a vibrant and viable way is still determined to witness to the world what it means to be God’s people, doing God’s Will, God’s way
in a Church that plans for expansion and growth; a Church whose best days are ahead, not behind; a Church willing and ready to think “outside of the (collection) plate” to further and finance and realize the God-given dreams of her forebearers.
God’s best is before, and not behind us!
It's Time To Believe Again!
