    based on 21 ratings
     | 14,728 views

    Whether or not a church has a God-given vision for how it is to partner with God in its work is eternally important.

    In the first part of Proverbs 29:18, we find a familiar portion of Scripture. Most Christians are familiar with the quote from the KJV: “Where there is no vision, the people perish.” The translation in the NIV gives us insight as to why people with no vision perish: “Where there is no revelation, ...read more
