Not Just for United Methodists Only

Real life friend and colleague Bob Phillips recently concluded a lengthy piece this way -– –

“Begin with the end in mind. This wisdom from Stephen Covey offers caution and hope to United Methodists who shortly will begin a several-year process of hopping one express or the other.

“Central to any wise decision will be awareness of and ownership for the destination.

“Cliché and stereotype cannot provide that information.

“Prayer, rigorous engagement with diverse facts, discernment of one’s own grasp of Christ and the gospel, all will play a role.

“If one knows where the chosen train is headed, and affirms that destination, the right express has been chosen.”

– – – Wise words. Thank you, Sir!
