I'm reading Andy Stanley's great book Visioneering right now and it is really hitting me at just the right time. As we get further along in this church planting adventure, and closer to our launch, I feel more and more inadequate and less and less prepared. I just thought I'd post a few of my favorite nuggets from the first few chapters so far and let you think about them.
"Vision is always accompanied by strong emotion. And the clearer the vision, the stronger the emotion" (10).
"God ordained visions are always too big for us to handle" (42).
"You are not responsible for figuring out how to pull off God's vision for your life. You are responsible to do what you know to do, what you can do. And then you must wait" (56-57).
"If it is just a good idea, you have to make it happen. When God gives you a vision, there's a sense in which you stand back and watch it happen" (57).
"I think it is safe to assume that most Christians are not attempting anything that requires God's intervention" (71).
