As a kid, I'd prepare a Christmas list every year, just to make sure my parents knew what I wanted. I'm not greedy for the same things now, but what I do want costs much more than a few toys from Sears. In this week's installment of my Messages About Purpose and Strategy, I'll share a few things on my wish list for the coming year. I'm typing this on New Year's Eve and I think I'll hit send before I edit whatever pours out of my heart through my fingertips into this laptop. What do I want for 2010? I want revival. I want Dayspring members to so passionately follow God that people in this valley can't help but to wonder what makes us different. And I want us to be different - not conformed to our consumer culture, always demanding our own way and wallowing in illegitimate feelings of entitlement like so many crybabies. I want the God of creation to be honored by what happens here in our hearts and minds and lives and neighborhoods and offices and so on. I want us, and I know it must start with me, to be so committed to the authority of God's Word, so totally focused on Jesus, so reliant upon the leading of the Spirit, and so radical in our sacrificial obedience, that we turn our towns upside-down with a level of love not seen in the past decade. That's what I want for the New Year. Though the cost of discipleship is high, please join me in making this dream come true!
