New thoughts on church plant…..
Today, I write you with greater understanding of the mission of God and his providence. I have for the past few months continued upon my quest to find truth in the scriptures and through prayer. In a brief moment, I had clear vision for what God has called us to do. My sheer reluctance always gets in the way of accomplishing that very thing. I am so thankful to my wife that she asked a very simple question, “ Are we having bible study today and what time.” Now this was one of the greatest answers to one of the questions that I had been searching for- which was where do I start.
Acts 1:8 gives clear definition of what a church should embody from the jump. The focus should be first placed upon you immediate area-home. That is where the disconnect came for me. I have missed my first place of discipleship which was home. Now my wife is saved and strong in Christ but I neglected to really engage her with the word of God. Not seeing that she was the first committed part of the mission. So I want to thank my beautiful wife, Tonya, for getting this ship back on track. Whatever happens from their happens but if it is just the two of us so be it…..we will carry the mission of evangelizing. There is where we stand as it relates to church planting- my wife and I studying the scriptures in our home.
