Ed and I will return to Los Angeles (Lake Forest, technically) next week for the Purpose Driven Worship Conference. Last year, we returned full of ideas and ready to tame the world. I pray for that this year.
Ebenezer is in a great place, but at a crossroad: We have people who are not returning to our church because there is no room (no physical space) for them. We need to do something about it, and yesterday. A building program, if started TODAY, will be too late. It will take some thinking out of the box, and we baptists are not known for being good at that.
I hope God gives us some clear direction and a good plan for how to accomodate our current situation. It does no good to reach a ton of people if we have no room at the inn . . .
