Painting a Vision For Your Cause

Submitted by James Higginbotham on November 18, 2008 – 5:07 amNo Comment

Have you ever seen a drawing or read a story that clearly painted a picture of the situation? That is what your vision should be. Your vision needs to be short, powerful, and tell a story of what is wrong plus a big picture of how to plan to right the wrong.

I believe this is why churches are failing to see real growth. Growth beyond the transfer of the Christian body from one church to another. The church has forgotten how to cast a vision to those in need. They are more interested in HD TVs on the walls and playing Hollywood movies during service than they are about getting back to the most powerful story of all: The Gospel.

Want to lead your cause? Paint a vivid picture that is so compelling that people can’t ignore it. It may not be for everyone you meet. But for some it will touch something deep within their heart. Those are the ones you want to lead. And it all starts with a vision.
