BHAG'S

​Do you have any BHAG’s?  The term BHAG, spelled B-H-A-G, stands for Big Hairy Audacious Goals.  As followers of Jesus, I believe we need to have some BHAG’s when it comes to impacting our community and our world for Jesus Christ.  The great evangelist of years ago, D.L. Moody, once said, “If God be your partner, make your plans large!”  I remember an airline commercial on television when I was a kid where a football team is in the locker room at halftime and the coach is really giving it to them.  He’s yelling and pounding his fist against the locker asking questions like, “How can we be playing so bad?  How can we be missing so many tackles?  How come they keep getting to our quarterback?”  Finally, one player sheepishly pipes up and asks, “But coach, aren’t we ahead 41-0?”  To that the coach says, “That’s exactly the attitude I’m talking about…when you become satisfied as a football player we’re through as a football team!”  That is how I feel sometimes about the church.  Sometimes it seems that we have just become satisfied.  Ephesians 3:20 tells us that we serve a God who can do superabundantly beyond anything we could ever ask or dream.  D.L. Moody was right – “If God is our partner we can make our plans large!”
