Acquiring and Seeking Knowledge

An Intelligent mind acquires knowledge, and the ear of the wise seeks knowledge.

— Proverbs 18:15

The journey through the Lenten season leads us to the cross and an empty tomb. The core of our faith rests securely in the resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The Bible assures us that the promise of the resurrected Christ is our salvation. The vacant cross and empty tomb are symbols of new life. My prayer for each of us is that we will confidently follow Jesus, perfecting our leadership skills as we journey in our new life However, it is challenging to be a good leader if you are not a good follower. Since each of us is called to lead people to a Christ-infused life, it is critical that we follow the example given to us by Jesus How are you living out the example of Christ’s leadership in your church, community, or family? Does your walk reflect the God we serve? It may be time to revisit some leadership models of the past to see if they can hold up in our new environment. Are they reflecting a life of justice, compassion, wisdom, prudence, and love? Or, are we just doing what we’ve always done, hoping for a better outcome?

As the convention refocuses, we will continue to bring the most relevant opportunities to you and your church so that together we can lead more people to Christ. As always, I encourage you to engage with us in programs, prayers, or training. Your input is valuable, and we want to hear it. Journey with us and experience the endless possibilities of a new life in Christ.

Be blessed. Be God’s.
