You have taken one more major step in taking on the task of seeking new pastoral leadership. This now becomes a time when we need to be in earnest prayer. Not so much for the individual whom God had chosen but rather for those whom He has chosen to work with Him in the search process. This is not the time for you and me to be telling this committee how they should move forward or who they should be considering. Why?
Because God tells us in His Word that "our ways are not His ways, nor are His ways our ways." Now it is extremely important that we listen and watch for His revelations as to how we move forward together, so we need to be of one mind and heart and that is we need to know the mind and heart of God Himself.
We can be confident that what God has begun in His people in Lamoine He will continue until He returns. "Being confident of this very thing that He who has begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ." So we, together, march forward under the banner of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. God bless you all as you move forward with Him.
