“CHANGE!” Adopting a Biblical Approach in the New Year

12/31/2019

PictureAllow God to change your attitude as you change the page of the Calendar!
As a new year approaches, it is typically accompanied by a review and analysis of what transpired in the closing year and the anticipated challenges, opportunities, and outcomes of the approaching year.  It is amazing how changing one page of the calendar can produce such an intellectual and emotional exercise of contemplation and anticipation.

​Keeping this in mind, perhaps there is no more appropriate word for us to begin this new year and decade with than the word “change.”  The type of change that I am referencing is that which King Solomon notes in Ecclesiastes 3:1, “For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven.”  Solomon then illustrates his observation through a series of comparative examples that demonstrate life’s ebb and flow and give and take (Ecclesiastes 3:2-8).

Moving Forward with Core Values Implementation

​
The 2019 ministry year started with much momentum following the conclusion of the 2018 MARBC Conference last October.  The next seven months involved meeting with our regional associations to explore how they can partner together in order to implement the MARBC’s Core Values.  A series of forums were held to seek input from association pastors.  Much of the discussion focused upon how to prioritize the ten-year vision plan announced at last year’s conference:  strengthen existing churches and regional fellowships; forge new partnerships with other churches and organizations; participate in joint ministry initiatives to impact our state; and plant ten new churches.
