All in Vision
Everyone talks about leaving a legacy. I want to LIVE a legacy. Legacy is “when the next generation models their lives and judges their achievements by you.”
40 years ago this week, I got married. Two weeks later, I was in Africa with my bride. I spent the better part of two years with her in the “bush” of Ghana and Nigeria often with no electricity and no running water. Why have I invested 35 million dollars of the Lord’s money overseas in the last 33 years (and almost that much in local missions in the U.S.)?
Everyone is trying to get a leg up on this New Year. Thousands of churches nationwide are participating in 21 days of prayer and fasting. I’ve never been more excited about the American church seeking God. Surely He is going to answer these millions of prayers! Jesus taught us the “three-fold cord” of a breakthrough in Matthew 6 with the Sermon on the Mount.
Everybody makes New Year’s resolutions: lose weight, gain muscle, write books, read books, get a degree, get a raise, and so on infinitum. All of that is great, but I want to give you a completely different starting point for 2016: get your finances in order. Do you realize how much of your life will change when you start emerging out from under that pile of bills, credit card balances, and STRESS?
