We encounter this word fairly regularly: urgent care, an urgent message. It is used to describe something that requires immediate attention. It is also a word that describes how we are to approach God’s agenda for the world.
I’m becoming increasingly aware that God has an urgent plan for people and he is expecting me to have the same urgency. God may not care as much as I do about scheduling an haircut appointment but He wants me to care as much as He does about the people of San Diego.
In our staff meeting this week we talked about urgency being an identifiable characteristic of a church that is reaching its community. We’re growing our sense of urgency as we spend more time praying to capture God’s heart and then doing to capture God’s creation.
