Vision

A few weeks ago Craig asked "what is your vision" for the Men's Ministry. I must have had a blank look on my face because I thought, "I don't have a vision." From that point on I began to ask God to give me a vision. It didn't take long and it came to me quickly, "PASSION, ENCOUNTER, EMPOWERMENT, RELATIONSHIP." These are the four points of emphasis I believe the Lord wants to grow in our lives. As an acronymn the words spell PEER. I think this is significant too as to "peer" means "to look searchingly at something difficult to discern." "And you shall seek me, and find me, when you shall search for me with all your heart." Jer. 29:13 If we are listening, we know that God is waking us up. He is calling us to draw close to Him, to search for Him. We have a choice and our response will determine our experience. Of a truth, the fulfillment of His word in that "if you seek you will find" will result in PASSION, it will be because we ENCOUNTER the Living God, the Creator of the ends of the earth, the One that holds the vastness of creation in His hands. And in this place we will become EMPOWERED, we will know His love and favor as never before experienced. And in knowing His love our love for others will increase, our RELATIONSHIP's will thrive and prosper.
