Ready, set , go. The group has grown and more will come. I thought it would be great to kick off with a topic that allows us to help one another and maybe get to know one another. Guidance. You know 'How do I find God's will' type questions. Hopefully we will find the answer to the question is finding the right question (That's a riddle). It was much simpler 100 years ago. People had fewer life choices, less options. You got married or you followed in Dad's footsteps. Now however we have hundreds of options and this influences our theology. If you look at guidance literature one hundred years ago the emphasis was on God's word and keeping to the commandments. Today it may emphasize the leading of the spirit.
So what, I need help. How do I make a good decision when choosing a way forward in mission/church planting? Maybe first people can share what has helped them in the past, what mistakes they made and how now God is guiding them.
