12. Vision
Its time to trade in our vision statements for a visionary
state of mind by practicing two essentials. First, we need to grasp
that clarity isnt everything, but it changes everything. Too many
times, church leaders are making decisions and having conversations
without the vantage point of clarity first.All activity is not
progress. In churches today, its all too easy to be busy without
intention or direction. Second, we need to state our vision
framework before we frame our vision statement.
13. Vision
Vision transfers through people not paper:We must bring vision
to life.
