How to Poke Yourself in the Eye

Preached on September 30, 2007 at PLWC.

Reading: Lamentations 2:5-9; Revelation 1:9-11; Proverbs 29:18

Carey and I and the members of our board of administration will be having a board retreat on October 8, so I've been thinking of things like long-term goals and plans and vision. I've been annoyed to see some leadership authors (mis)quote Proverbs 29:18 to suggest the importance of a church having a vision, so I did some digging to see just what sort of vision Proverbs had in mind. No surprise, but it's not the same sort of vision as you'd see in a vision statement for a business.
