Vision is something pastors and churches cannot afford to live without.
It was in the mid-70's, '74 or '75 I started doing leadership conferences for pastors and in '79 I wrote my first book "Think On These Things".
Pastors need to find their place in the community of believers by spending time with God.
I started out in the ministry, went to college, started as a pastor, pastored for basically 25 years. That was a good time, I really enjoyed it.
There are a lot of pastors who have a vision and have not yet seen it become a reality.
As a pastor I reinforced my vision over lunches.
