Over the next 4 days I and 3 other Good News leaders will be attending a conference in which we will obtain tools to help our people with the issue of dealing with finances and our strange economy. While we can't impact the part of our local/national/individual economy that depends on other people, we do have control over our own decisions. In fact, this is the main toolbox we will be assembling ... what each person can do in making their financial life better. And the best part is all the advice comes from Scripture and from God's plan to make our lives better by following Him rather than being led by our culture.
Pray for the team. We will be listening to how we can lead our adults, young people and children to make Biblical choices in their lives as they relate to money, possessions, priorities, time, energy and doing life in a Biblical context. I hope we are able to bring back some usable and useful ways for each of us to do life in a way that gives God power over our everyday choices. He told us if we follow then we will be in a place where He can bless us and give us an abundant life, full of God's good things. If we follow the culture I believe we will not see this blessing and will not understand God's peace, God's provision and God's purpose.
The conference is called Momentum and in 2013 we will all be asked to be a team that pulls together to place all we learn into action. It will take each of us ... every member, attender and every heart given to a willingness to become part of something larger than themselves. Sunday School classes and small groups will be asked to be part of the effort ... children and teens will be called to be part of this push toward a better place. I hope you will pray for your participation and your willingness to help us all make changes that will benefit and grow us.
Thanks in advance for your prayers and your preparation for this major undertaking. Pastor Randy
