ADJUSTMENTS

Life is a journey of ADJUSTMENTS! Our plans seldom work out the way we imagined when conceived in our minds. Some of my ideas and apologetics sound so sensible when I play them in my mind. But, when sharing with others or when moving towards actualization, I wonder why things don't work out the way I imagined.

The "Infancy" stages of Connecting Point Church are not following the course we conceived and even announced for many weeks. It seemed apparent over 10 weeks ago that we would be meeting at Carolina High School's brand new facilities. Everything seemed just perfect. Unfortunately things did not transpire according to "Our Plan" so we are now searching for a physical place for our smalll group of Christ-Followers to meet for Corporate Worship on Sundays.
ADJUSTMENTS!!
We are working on several options. At this phase of our Church's existence it is not feasible to even consider leasing a facility. We have no track record of financial stability to even be considered for this kind of arrangement. We have submitted a request form to the leadership at Greenville Tech's new campus -- Northwest. The facilities are extremely nice and there is a County park on the campus! We could get excited and say that this must be the reason God "closed the door" at Carolina. But, this may lead to confusion IF this possibility never materializes. Then we will need to make more...
ADJUSTMENTS!!
While I certainly don't know what God has planned in His future-plan, I am convinced more now than ever that our VISION to move "The Church" away from a Geographical location into the communities where we live is exactly what God wants! (see our website for a detailed explanation for our Community House Churches -- www.connectingpointchurch.cc). We have placed so much emphasis on Assembling in a large building each Sunday that it seems unnatural to be at home on a Sunday morning. I hope our Core leaders are strengthened in our resolve to "BE THE CHURCH WHERE WE LIVE" instead of worrying that we didn't "GO TO CHURCH!"

Whether you are trying to do something for God or just trying to navigate the landscapes of life on earth, you too will need to make ADJUSTMENTS. In writing this aritcle I had to stop and ask the Lord what areas of my personal life need some ADJUSTING. Just like an automobile cannot drive itself, we cannot just allow our lives to take whatever course the world determines. God has given us a great tool to keep our lives out of the ditches of life -- THE BIBLE! When we are lost on the highway, our GPS or the old fashioned map can help get us back on track. Trust me, the Word of God is the only time-tested resource to keep us on God's path. Open it today and make the ADJUSTMENTS that God reveals.

Pray for Connecting Point Church as we seek to ADJUST to whatever God has for us!
