I’m sitting in a church conference as I write( during a coffee break). I’ve just listened to an overview of 1200 Canadian churches’ strategy to reach the world with the Gospel of Jesus. Pretty big vision!
But that’s the point: vision.
The Bible says that where there’s no vision people “cast off restraint”. Think about it…vision gives purpose and direction to life. Without it we’re simply coasting, navel gazing, and marking time. The famous author C.S.Lewis said his one fear as he aged was that he “merely continue”. And I totally agree.
I’m not against retirement but I do value purposeful living, which retired people can do even after hanging up their careers. I think we all need to take stock of our core values. A good place to start is to ask ourselves about our purpose in life. Vision is vital.
