Twenty-five or so years ago, a group of people had a vision. They saw a piece of the future as it could be. Their commitment to what might - in God’s providence – happen, is our heritage as a church. We owe them for many of the blessings we so casually accept.
Some have moved on. Others are still here. As time goes by, many of those visionaries will no longer abiding this side of Heaven. As more and more of our founders are promoted into Glory, they will comprehend what they see from a place beyond where we stand today. Theirs is the view over Heaven’s banister. Can you feel their smile?
The day is coming when we will no longer stir earth’s dust; we will become part of it. While there is still time, we must mark our world for His Name’s sake.
If we are to smile from Heaven’s portals at the achievements of this era, we must pursue The Spirit in all things and act on His prompting. Then our smile will match our predecessors’. We will leave The Kingdom better and cause our successors’ pondering this legacy of generations gone before. But all this awaits our faithful living now.
