Pastor's Time Bind

My Vision for the Christian Life and the Church

I do not want to be known as being particularly religious, just as one who is a fully devoted follower of Jesus Christ. I want holiness without the starch and self-righteousness. I want to be one who knows and understands His word and honors and follows it. I want to be naturally supernatural. I long to see signs and wonders break out in the church and a recovery of the gifting of the early apostolic church. I want the church, particularly my church, to be a place where the people are committed to worship and prayer. I want it to be a place where the presence of God is tangibly felt and where people find hope, healing, rest, and a fresh start. I want our time of meeting together to be so powerful and life changing that people are ruined for same, tame, and lame Christianity. Flowing from that I want us to be motivated to do ministry all around us—to the least and lost, to the down and out as well as the up and out. I want what God is doing among us to so inspire people that they give their all for a task greater, more honorable, and more lasting than any human endeavor. Is this a fool’s dream? I hope not and I pray that I, we, are a big part of what God wants to do in the earth.
