I have had a few conversations lately with some church leadership friends... does it hit anyone else that we are sometimes in great fear about what to do next and we might be passing off our fear as something more spiritual?
How about a fear of moving forward with something even though we sense it's the wise thing to do. We need to pray about everything that that involves the church and reaching out to share the Gospel, but how do we balance the idea that God gave us a brain and said go out there and do my work.... now! and the the slow measured response and deep contemplative thought that goes into selecting the carpet color or what song to put in rotation on a Sunday morning?
Can we get so caught up in what other people think of our spiritual maturity that we don't want to be seen as impetuous so we hold back and wait for something to develop? Maybe that thing is Gods hand... maybe it's insecurity or fear of failure... that's a tough question.
