I love a good sermon!!! I was drawn to my current church - Mt. Olive Kingdom Builder's Worship Center (http://www.thekindgomchurch.com/) because I heard both the then Youth Pastor and the Pastor speak on the same night at a tent revival. They are neither greedy nor selfish - on occasion, an invitation will be extended to a guest preacher. Although I am anxious for most of those services, I have never been disappointed by the guest preachers. A few weeks ago, Elder Shane Perry gave the sermon at our 9:30 service. He spoke about vision. He said that we in the church speak faith, but have no vision. Habakkuk 2:2 says "And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it." (KJV) I have to admit, it got me thinking. I have so many things that I am working on, goals that I have, revelations that I am trying to fulfill, but how can I do all these things if they aren't written down? I would certainly lose track of one or 2 by March or April!!! So I took it upon myself to write out what they taught us in business school as a BHAG - Big Hairy Audacious Goal. I changed my Audacious to Attainable because I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. (Philippians 4:13 KJV) I read it at least once a day. I have most of it memorized and I speak it throughout the day. In addition to this 5 year vision (something of this magnitude can't be done properly in a year), I wrote out what I am going to do in 2010 to ensure the attainment of this goal by 2015. These 6 goals are what I am working towards everyday. I have a binder and everyday I write what I have done towards my BHAG. It is encouraging. It keeps me motivated. It is exciting!!! If you are working towards something big, I encourage you to write the vision, and make it plain!!!! Good luck in your endeavors!!!
