VISION

Does it matter whether or not you wear glasses, contacts or have laser surgery? It depends on whether you want clear or blurry and distorted eyesight. It would seem obvious that everyone values physical eyesight, vision, the ability to see everything 20/20.

However, I believe that when God says in Proverbs 29, “Where there is no vision the people perish” he is referring to inner vision. We can use a telescope and see for miles or use a microscope and see bacteria invisible to the naked eye. But the men and women that can see a church operating with God’s power will be those who have learned to look beyond what’s seen and gravitate toward that which is yet to take shape. Look at any building. It was in somebody’s mind before it was physically built. I have a vision for the
Church of Christ in Raleigh.

¨ I see model Christians (not perfect) serving every segment of this vast community.

¨ I see ministries to every age. Mentors, coaches, elders, deacons, evangelists and counselors all working to glorify God through his marvelous Son, Christ Jesus.

¨ I see day care, evening care, schools, elderly care, economic development all a part of each congregation of the Church of Christ planted by the now named South Central church of Christ Church.

I have no vision for less than the best that God has to offer. I know that when his people allow themselves to believe God, the community becomes captivated by their obvious blessings as in Acts 3:47. We will develop the mind of Christ and seek to save everyone who is lost!

My vision is clear, my heart and mind are focused on honoring God the Father and his Son, Jesus Christ.

If you need clarity of vision, stay with South Central and you will never regret the opportunities to serve and the blessings that you will receive.
