Memories or Dreams?

I ran across an article that contained a quote from Howard Hendricks:

“When your memories are more exciting than your dreams, you’ve begun to die.”

Do you know anyone that spends way more time thinking on their past than on “dreaming” about what our incomprehensible God is able to do.

If you think about it ... we tend to hold on to our memories. As churches, we tend to hold on to “the way we used to do it.” The problem is this ... if we hold onto the past to the exclusion of dreaming about God’s ability to do great and different things, are we not heading down the road to death? Are we not placing a roadblock in God’s desire to use us to accomplish something for His glory?

I would hope that at The Chapel, we can forget what is behind, and press on toward the upward call of God in Christ Jesus (see Philippians 3:13). I would hope that we can dream a bit about what our almighty God can accomplish through our willingness. Any takers?

Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly
above anything that we ask or think,
according to the power that works in us,
to Him be glory in the church by Jesus Christ to all generations,
forever and ever. Amen.
Ephesians 3:20-21

Have a Great Day
