Three Essentials of Christian Planning

1 Corinthians 16:5-9

 

We Are To Plan But Write the Plan In Humble and Realistic Pencil

 

  1. Planning With Humility - for I intend to pass through Macedonia

 

     Planning is OK….  Avoid Two Extreems

 

                    Vs 6 for I intend to pass through Macedonia

 

                   Prov 12:20,  15:22, 16:1, 3. 9,  21:5 

 

                   Luke 14:28-30   

 

     Biblical planning is humble planning

 

                   The Two Extreems -                      James 4:13-16

                    

                   The Biblical Example - vs 6

 

                                                          

  1. Planning with Flexibility - I hope to spend some time with you, if the Lord permits.

 

               Two Extreems

                              “Only one choice” 

                              “No Choice” 

 

               Biblial flexibility – vs 7,                                Acts 16:6-10

 

               Paul’s Open Door policy -  Vs 9                  

                               

  1. Planning with Irritablility - “and there are many adversaries. “

 

               Planning in light of it…                   Luke 14:31-32 

 

               Planning in light of Opposition

 

                              P…

                              I…

                              W…

                              Plan for the least…

                                             Proverbs 16:7 

                                             Romans 12:18

 

                              Avoid shock and awe
