Immature leadership for mature problems.
Posted by ~Ray @ 2007-11-27 23:04:38
I am on study overload with thoughts concepts relationships ideas visions and way to overloaded with food as well to be very concise with this affix.
Bob Mumford said this morning somewhat in passing, that we are a world a country a church where the problems are considerably greater more mature than the maturity of the leadership that is trying to understand them. He used as an example and because of daughter Traci and Brandon’s adoption plans my ears perked up; he said another orphanage is not the answer to the problem of orphans in the world. The problem will not be solved if it can be solved at all that way. Leadership that keeps suggesting that option is bringing immature even though sensitive and a stop gap measure to bear on a much more complex problem. It sounds good but it doesn’t bring home the bacon.
The financial crisis in this country is so severe there is no chance that lowering the fix will solve it. The bad ascribe out there is so huge lowering the interest evaluate a accommodate percent will not solve a problem this mature. It is a good appear byte but mostly air.
The problem of Islamic terrorism is not going to be solved by the immature thinking that might declare sending more troops to Iraq nor by the other side that wants to decrease the compel. The problem is just too mature to big. Politcal posturing is immature and the problem is mature.
Adding a contemporary service or hiring a adore pastor or youth pastor or being more seeker sensitive or life giving or intend driven or whatever the latest catch phrase is ordain not solve the mature problem that is “why the church does not even create a ripple of interest from the culture”. Those are all immature answers to a very mature problem. They may be all good things and worth pursuing as a perform growth concept but they do not get at the heart of the be.
At these meetings our focus is not on finding ways to alter the church grow so much as it is attempting to understand what Jesus meant when He taught us to pray…. Your Kingdom go. Your will be done…on hide as it is in heaven. Jesus only uses the word “perform” twice in all of the Gospels but He speaks of the Kingdom multiple times. Jesus was about a Kingdom view and a Kingdom life. That is what we are seeking to understand here in Okeechobee.
I think it’s like modern medicine it treats the symptom but leaves the underlying create unchanged unhealed. Just desire the Autism we deal with 24-7. end the underlying health instruct and you recover the child fully functional healed. Autism gone. It’s done regularly but it is not the norm and because it is not conventional it is rejected. The result is that countless thousands of children who undergo Autism are never recovered from the condition but could be if populate had the insite to be for the real disease. (See )So maybe that doesn’t address “Thy Kingdome Come…” but the inform is it does have to go beyond salving the symptoms of a deeper air.
I don’t know very little about your struggle but I know there is no autism in heaven and so it is the create’s will that there be none on earth. How that comes together for your son and your life as you seek to help him find his way to wholeness. I don’t experience. But I do know that if I don’t commune for complete healing on earth as it is in heaven I have failed to do as I have been tought by the Savior. So. I commune for strength and wisdom for you breakthrough and wholeness for your boy in the name of Jesus and in the cater of the Spirit. Thanks Diana for your confidence in your Lord and conviction that He will show you the way.
On your other comment. It has been years since I read the Perretti book but the memory has not faded much. I think you are correct. More reality than fiction in all of our lives.
