Fulfilling the Will of GOD in the community.
A look at how a
Church might implement its agreed
mission in this
changing world.
For many
Churches, the process of discovering themselves and implementing
their desire to follow God is a hard one.
This is caused by
many different distraction as diverse as members not “buying in”
to the mission, conflict of time use,- be it work or family or
worthwhile causes. Mankind creates a busyness that stifles the Work
of God in the community. This is seen so often in the activities of
organisations and they view expressed in actions ...” I am busy
therefore I am important and needed”.
This
expression comes from the wish from most people who have a sense and
need “to belong”.
The early church
had that sense of belonging meeting regularly to share in meals.
Whilst life seems more complex in this decade the sense of belonging
is still important. If leadership could harness the sense of
belonging and gifting of their flock the work would be easier and
perhaps move on quicker to complete the plan to fulfil the purpose of
the community known as “such and such” church.
Part of the
challenges after agreeing how the community should be, is the method
and structure of such, I hesitate to say, an organisation that has
control yet flexible to the changing needs of the community and its
people.
