It is a humbling experience knowing that people will actually follow you. John Maxwell always says, "If you want to know if your a leader simply look behind you." Great advice! In these past few weeks I have looked behind me. I have seen the numbers of people gorw and my heart swells. I know all of my faults and weaknesses, yet people still follow. That is awesome. I know that in reality they are not folowing me, but they are following a dream and a vision. The dream is simple. Grow a huge freak'n church that has the influence ina city to alter change for the good of the Kingdom of God. Just imagine for one quick second to power of the local church.......okay seconds up. Is that awesome or what? The vision? Well that's easy too; Real people, serving a Relevant God in a Revolutionary way. Revolutionaries take chances. They step out against all odds and fight the masses. We are not in this thing to fight the natural, but we are in it to fight for the lost and win souls for the kingdom.
I have always pondered the question: How will you know if you are successful? I think one of the values is beyond a shadow of a doubt, are people being saved and transformed, if so, then yup that's success!
To all of you who are praying about joining this launch team I am gratefully and overwhelmingly honored. I can't promise you a bed of roses or even .......well I can't promise you anything except for the fact that we will be sucessful. How do I know that? Easy, God said it. He told uys in 2 Corinthians 2:14 "Thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ." Yup, triumph, the winners circle baby! As long as we keep Christ first. And He is my friend Christ IS #1 in this endeavor.
