thank God
i thank God i live in the time i live in. i have had an on-going conversation on twitter with 3 guys – Virginia, South Carolina, and Georgia about church planting and discipleship for the last several minutes. never left my desk. that is amazing.
scripture says that Jesus came at just the right time. (my translation) now me I would have waited for TV, Satellite, AC, maybe even time travel, but what do I know.
anyway that gets me to thinking, church planter, when is “just the right time” for you?
as you begin to consider church planting timing is everything. it is difficult to plant in a community that is established, stagnant, or dying (difficult, not impossible). but you can also get to an area too early. if you get to a community when it first starts to grow then when it explodes you are the old news in the community. timing is everything, well just maybe real important. but both require different strategies. know your community and timing can be adjusted.
