Global Neighborhood
”The entire law is summed up in a single command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” Galatians 5:14
Our relationships are no longer confined to geography. Everywhere is local. The old concept of distance is obsolete. Our networks have expanded beyond proximity. I see leaders who are still attempting to establish relationships based on locality. That day is over. Organizations, networking, and relationships are no longer confined to the limitations of yesterday. We must realize that we are in a new era.
We are the first generation since the Tower of Babel to be in this position. “Now the whole world had one language and a common speech.” Genesis 11:1 The word for language means to open the lip. The word speech means utterance pertaining to business or occupation.
We’re in a time that our ‘language’ and ‘common speech’ is globally recognized. It is the language of computing.
The Church is barely scratching the surface of what can be accomplished in our time if we will “open our lips to communicate our business.” In the last few weeks, I have been working on a couple projects that could result in amazing accomplishments for the Kingdom of God. I marvel at the potential.
I will be in Tulsa on Friday to ‘brain-storm’ with strategists concerning these projects. It is a Divine appointment. I expect God’s wisdom and creativity to be with us.
