Origin of Gospel Advancing Ideas
Great ideas develop from collaboration not through privatization. Remember, victory may be found in an abundance of counselors (Prov 24:6), not a lone ranger. Counselors (plural) are able to provide healthy guidance to a people (Prov 11:14).Great ideas develop in community not isolation.Great ideas are developed by an iterative process--thinking of them, talking about them, checking them against the Word, chewing on them, praying about them, re-thinking, re-talking, re-checking, re-chewing, re-praying.Ideas, apart from the mind of God, are worthless in reaching the 4 billion (John 15:5). And if no one comprehends the mind of God except of the Spirit of God (1 Cor 2:11), then the first great idea is to walk in step with the Spirit we have received (1 Cor 2:12).Spirit-Word-Meditation-Prayer-Community of saints-Here's where great gospel advancing ideas come from.Let's get off our islands, walk in the Spirit, know the Word, and start those conversations!
