The Plan

To help people praise God in life, love, and purity.

It's that simple.... the plan is to take that statement, and unveil how it relates with the great commission, my life, and yours.

A dream/vision I have is this: you walk into a classroom, office, garage bay, or forest, standing on the front lines of whatever it is you do, and you find that your heart is beating. You think a quick prayer asking for God's blessing, and you labor. And then amidst each battle you come against, you stand on one thing and one thing alone... God's character. As you stand on His truth, and humbly accept His blessing (according to His character), you begin to set an example, raising the bar for your peers. This example, founded upon God Himself, humble and trustworthy in nature, peaks the curiousity of any and all on-lookers awaiting the results. Then... after the battle is fought, these on-lookers are in awe of God's work...whether they know it or not. They offer you praise...and you take it...and offer it back to God, praising Him for His work. As the bar continues to rise through each battle fought, God's character becomes evident, and the on-lookers recognize it is not your truth you stand on, but God's. As the recognition continues to shift from you to God, the on-lookers will have no choice but to face Him, with either humility or pride... leading to their salvation, or death... leading to God's praise.

There are several key concepts portrayed in this story, and I would like to expound on them later... but for now, just know this... that God will be praised!

One observation you might be making...is "how do you, Dean, get involved in that story"? My response is this: right now, at this moment, I'm in the fight and you're an on-looker. I strive daily for God to be praised, by not only His workers, but by the on-lookers too! But for the more "to-the-point" personalities out there:

to help you praise God in life, love, and purity, I have a few ideas...
I would like to explore the following:
-weekend workshops
-leadership team seminars
-worship services
...and always...
-writing



So by now, you should understand the following:
