Pastor: Keep Moving Forward!

Labels:


I am heavily influenced by the leadership, innovation and imagination of Walt Disney. Sometimes I wonder if Walt Disney were a church planter, what would his congregation look like today? If it were anything like the Disney company is now, it would be a radical world changer!

Clearly his legacy continues today, and to a certain degree, continues to be ahead of his time. One of my favorite Walt Disney quotes is:

“There’s really no secret about our approach. We keep moving forward – opening up new doors and doing new things – because we are curious. And curiosity keeps leading us down new paths. We’re always exploring and experimenting. At WED, we call it Imagineering, the blending of creative imagination with technical know-how.”

Leaders and pastors, we must continue to keep moving forward. Regardless of any obstacles we may face, we are called and empowered by God. We should not live in fear. Scripture teaches us in Isaiah 43: 18-19,

“Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. 
See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? 
I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.”

God is doing a new thing! God is making a way! So pastor/leader, keep moving forward!
