Sunday Night Reflections

A few thoughts from an amazing day...

• Presented a new vision this morning for the future of PBCC. Our new vision is "[PBCC] Exists to introduce people to God’s grace by growing together as a family and developing our gifts to share the love of Jesus".
• While we stated a new vision today, I know it will take time for us to fulfill the vision, yet once it is fulfilled I believe we will have a God honoring church.
• What does sharing the love of Jesus mean to you?
• Being a church of grace and family will allow us to share the love of Jesus.
• Relationships are always a priority in God's kingdom.
• Do you ever think of yourself as a bride waiting for the bridegroom - it will really change your perspective on this life
• I am still thinking about Sir Francis Drake's prayer I read this morning - "Disturb us, Lord, when we are too well pleased with ourselves, When our dreams have come true; because we have dreamed too little, When we arrived safely; because we sailed too close to the shore".
• I was thrilled to hear about one of member's praise report today, God is really doing some good things in her life.
• Heaven gained a saint this week as Palmer Young, former President of Kentucky Christian University passed away. He was truly a gentlemen among preachers.
• Spent some time with some good friends at Florida Christian College Saturday. Some of these friends I have known for over 40 years, they are truly treasures.
• Celebrated my oldest son's 30th birthday today, how can it be that I have a 30 year old son?
