Hil l top Bapt is t Church
From the Pastor’s Pen
“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways.” Isaiah 55:8 (NIV)
One of the highlights of our time when Betsy and I go to the Billy Graham Training Cen-
ter at the Cove, is when we get to listen to Richard Blackaby. Over the past 8 years, we’ve at-
tended 4 different times, and he is always the keynote speaker. He speaks every morning for
3 consecutive days.
This year he spoke much about what it was like growing up with a Dad who left a thriv-
ing church in San Francisco to pastor a church running 10 people in attendance in a small ru-
ral Canadian Province. Many people thought Henry Blackaby was nuts to leave a prominent
pastorate in exchange for a small, out-of-the-way ministry. However, if you follow the story of
the Blackaby’s you’ll remember that those years at the small Canadian church were the years
he experienced and developed the material for his classic work, “Experiencing God.”
Two of the key takeaways from that story was the fact that Henry started networking
and church planting even while their church was only running 10 people! They also started a
ministry to college students knowing full well that college students aren’t notorious for being
big tithers! The theme of Experiencing God is noticing what God is doing around you, and then
joining Him in that work… not the other way around where pastors and church people plan
ministries and then pray for God to bless those ministries! It’s a pretty basic idea, and one
that you have undoubtedly heard by now, but I thought as we begin 2018 a refresher might be
in order.
With the unfolding of a new calendar year, you too have the opportunity to stretch your
faith and improve your powers of observation. With the coming of 2018, part of you might be
tempted to guard your time and resources, and focus on protecting what’s already strong in
your life. However, my challenge to you is to adopt that attitude that allows you to surrender
ALL of your resources and time to God! Maybe He’s calling you to do something extraordinary,
something outrageous, something unthinkable. But if He’s calling you to it, is it really that ex-
traordinary, outrageous, and unthinkable? See Isaiah 55:8 above.
Not a single day of 2018 has been lived yet. But it could be your best year ever. It
could be the year when you step out in faith and work with God, it could be the year you grow
like you’ve never grown before, it could be the year when you experience God in the sweetest,
most-powerful way yet. It takes faith, and it takes courage. But when you do so, prepare to
have God blow your socks off!!!
God Bless,
Pastor Rob
