Imagine That!
April 16th, 2008 · Posted in Practical Christianity, Practical Ministry · 0 CommentsGeorge Bullard of The Columbia Partnership has a wonderful post today about visioning — or imagining — the future of a church or an organization. I love the way this quote emphasizes how we can imagine — and even create — a new reality:
What they think is far away may actually be much closer. Goals that appear to be a long distance into the future may actually start happening much sooner. Part of this is the phenomena of experiencing what can be a positive, self-fulfilling prophecy. If you imagine something can happen. If you believe it is of God. If you act in a way that could empower it to happen. If you talk about it with multiple people. If you pray earnestly for God’s will to be done. Then often that which seemed both impossible and far away begins to happen.
If we will dare to imagine and communicate a new reality — we can create a new reality — and God’s will will be closer to being done.
