It is five days after the big report . . . People are talking and I hope PRAYING about our next move as our New Facilities team brought the recommendation that Ebenezer has talked about since Oscar Holland was the pastor (late ’60s): To build a new sanctuary. Of course, the pricetag makes this a God-sized task and there might be a ton of reasons why we think we should not do this. But what does God think??
THAT is why we need to pray, and however He leads us, we agree to TRUST HIM. As simple as that. God will NOT lead us wrong. One of the questions asked of me as I became pastor of this church (and, ironically, one of the “reasons” given for NOT calling me as pastor before my vote) was ‘can David Wike lead Ebenezer through a building program??’ My answer TODAY is the same as it was in February, 2001: If GOD is in it, I have no fear whatsoever of a project like this. IF HE IS NOT, it would scare me to death.
By the way, I am NOT shaking . . .
