This is what God the Lord says---he who created the heavens and stretched them out, who spread out the earth and all that comes out of it, who gives breath to its people, and life to those who walk on it: "I, the Lord, have called you in righteousness; I will take hold of your hand. I will keep you and will make you to be a covenant for the people and a light for the Gentiles, to open eyes that are blind, to free captives from prison and to release from the dungeon those who sit in darkness. I am the LORD; that is my name! I will not give my glory to another or my praise to idols. See, the former things have taken place, and new things I declare; before they spring into being I announce them to you." Isaiah 42:5-9
What a roller coaster church planting is! But you know what's so great about roller coasters? They aren't boring. They're never the same dull thing. They scare the loudest possible screams out of you, and make you giggle like a little kid all at the same time.
I love that God promises to hold our hands. I need a hand to hold while riding a roller coaster.
