It seems as I read this book I'm being reminded of why we're doing what we're doing as a 114 year old church. We're doing too much. Let me say that again. We're doing too much. As a staff, we have decided by the leadership of the Spirit, to throw away the flashlights, and go buy some lasers. Flashlights are broad. Lasers are focused. We've removed several of our Wednesday night programs, in an effort to FOCUS more on our goal of reaching the unchurched. When we're doing less, we're doing more. There will be some who will fret at the loss of light, but will soon realize, I suspect, that the laser has more impact. Shedding some pounds is always healthy, more so for a church that's been around awhile. Wilmington will never be the same because we stepped up and chose to throw away some flashlights. Great chapter.
