I am a part of a research group for an eBook that is being written on the \u201ctheology of planning.\u201d As a part of the research phase, the author of the book asked us to consider seven questions and see if there are any more we would ask.
<\/p>

So, I thought I\u2019d kick them out to you here. Think about these questions, do a little study, and comment here or on Facebook (where I\u2019ll post this as a note, too).<\/p>

In a few days, I\u2019ll post my answers. When the eBook is finally released, I\u2019ll post the link for you.<\/p>

  1. Does God want us to plan for the future?<\/li>
  2. If so, what does a healthy plan look like?<\/li>
  3. Is planning the work of one person or many people?<\/li>
  4. Do plans change?<\/li>
  5. How do we distinguish a plan from God from a plan developed outside of God\u2019s wisdom and inspiration?<\/li>
  6. How does God use failed plans?<\/li>
  7. Does planning involve faith? Or does planning hint at a lack of faith?<\/li><\/ol>

    How would you respond to these questions if someone asked you?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
