A certain congregation was about to erect a new church edifice. The building committee, in consecutive meetings, passed the following resolutions:

1. We shall build a new church.

2. The new building is to be located on the site of the old one.

3. The material in the old building is to be used in the new one.

4. We shall continue to use the old building until the new one is completed.

Sometimes church folks lose sight of the bigger picture. Sometimes, they get caught up in decision-making without seeing the ramifications. Don’t be like that. Keep a clear mind and a futuristic perspective when making your decisions. That is what God would want.

Wishing you much love and much light in 2009.
