Fighting in Faith for this Church Plant
I always knew that church planting was hard.
Leading up to our go-date in Boston, I have found myself in a new level of fight. Perhaps it’s because I’m the lead guy on this one. Perhaps it’s due to the hostile nature of our environment. Perhaps it’s the devil. Perhaps it’s what I ate for lunch…
In any case, I’m in a fight. I’m in a fight for God’s dream for Boston. I’m in a fight for people who don’t know Jesus. I’m in a fight for wandering, aimless Christians. I’m in a fight for the advance of God’s kingdom on the earth, even as it is in Heaven. I’m in a fight for the defense of the Gospel, once for all delivered to the saints.
So, just as Paul told Timothy, so the Scriptures tell me, Fight the good fight of faith. I will pray. I will fast. I will prepare. I will raise money. I will move. I will encourage myself in the words of Jesus, who went through a much tougher fight.
I will fight the good fight of faith for the future of that great city.
Psh! Satan knows a lost battle when he sees it, but he’s not above kidney shots. I’m with you on this, mister. If we love the city, imagine how passionate the Lion is for it. You and God make a majority.
In prayer and petition, I’m standing with you bro! Be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power; He is mighty to save.
