Think about what you want. What are you doing in order to get it? Are you hungry? What are you willing to do? The need won’t be met unless you do something about it. You’ve got to get up and make something to eat. You want it to taste good and be good for you? Then I hope you already went to the store with a plan and purchased nutritious ingredients. Your ability to get what you want is based on your preparation and your willingness to actually produce - in the case of this example, to make lunch! I write these Message About Purpose and Strategy. Think of that title again. They are message about purpose (what we want to do - the ultimate aim, definitive objective) and strategy (the methods we use to accomplish our mission, the means employed in moving toward the goal). Our purpose is what we really want to accomplish here - we want to bring God the glory he deserves by leading people to follow Jesus. The strategies we utilize in this effort are many and varied. But we sure need to do something. We can’t sit on the couch hungry and expect anything is going to happen. The need won’t be met unless we do something about it! Let’s mobilize for mission! Let’s get off the couch and be the people and the church God is calling us to be!! I’m excited! Join me. Pray. Plan. Pursue. Produce. Praise God!
