We have been programmed by our society to distrust those who think differently than us instead of valuing the ways Christ calls differently minded people together for God's glory. <br />The tipping point for me as a leader is the direction of discerned vision. Is changing or remaining static bringing us closer or farther from the specific vision discerned by the local body. <br />Maybe if we changed (HA!) the way we look at decisions from being focused on change/stasis to being focused on the previously discerned call it will be easier to weigh our options towards staying the course.<br />I really appreciate the idea of using the fruits of the spirit to evaluate the proposed means we use to get to our goals. Thanks for this piece.Gil Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07808949085308437816noreply@blogger.com
