Reckless Faith by Beth Guckenberger...... A must READ!
There are two kinds of learners
[1] Part to Whole [2]Whole to Part
Question: How many have no desire to volunteer for a committee or group project until you have established the purpose and final outcome?
Part-to-Whole's…
Solve math problem meticulously leaving nothing undone & never reads the last page of a book first.
Whole-to-Part's
Wonder will I ever use this math in real life & will not read the book w/o strong recommendations and a sneak look at the last page.
Imagine a Whole-to-Part learner with these fact:
Having 'vision' means listening to the LORD and taking the next step in faith.
Vision is not knowing the end of the game ahead of time.
Having 'vision' means experiencing growth. In several years we will look back and think, "if I only knew then, what I know now".
Vision is listening to God and stepping out in faith on a path whose end I cannot see.
Vision is primarily seeing events and people from Christ's perspective. God sees people for who they are not what they are.
Vision is believing there is someone on the other side of the ceiling when we look up at night.
Vision is trusting that the call had a supernatural origin and not a logical explanation.
Vision is believing in the relationship we have with our Creator.
My life experiences are building within me principles that I need for God's next call.
Important Lesson:
I have learned ministry is not just your day job or mission trips. Sharing life with these guys has taught me that all my moments can be ministry; eating, cooking, washing, cleaning, and sharing every moment God provides us together.
