the message that inspired my Oct newsletter (on the left)

Younger leaders tend to fall into one of these two camps –

Some struggle with a youthful pride that feels we can take on the whole world – even without God.

Others struggle with a false humility – `oh I can't do that' – a false humility that serves as an excuse not to do anything of risk or significance for God. "I'm so weak and untalented that even GOD can't do anything through me!" – that is NOT humility – it borders on HERESY!

Our confidence is solely and wholely grounded in the fact that OUR GOD IS A BIG GOD!

Our anticipation is solely and wholely in witnessing the powerful work of such a BIG
GOD who can do ALL THINGS very very well.

And so I ask you, HOW BIG IS YOUR GOD?

Is your God a LIFE changing, game-breaking, problem solving, crisis resolving, broken-
heart healing, heavenly-vision revealing, miracle-performing, globe-transforming BIG
GOD?!!! Amen?

And do you wait and watch with eager anticipation for HIS powerful work???

And finally, do you long and beg for the PRIVILEGE of participation in that powerful work of such a BIG GOD?

Ours is the "instant noodle" generation of immediacy that must learn patience.

Ours is the Internet generation of information-overload that must learn discernment.

Ours is the consumer generation of global brands that must learn Biblical stewardship.

Ours is the educated generation exposed to the global marketplace of ideas that must
learn the uniqueness of Jesus Christ as well as His relevance to every culture and every
people.

Our is the forward-thinking generation that sees a world of possibilities that must learn to
learn from the previous generations.

Younger leaders! Will you stand in the gap for our generation?
