Danny Daniels at Gadsden Vineyard
- Vineyard's True North
- "What God did on the mountain top, with committed, experienced practitioners who desired and expected Him to visit, He wants to do back home. History has shown that it won't happen through teaching and sermons alone, but through instruction, orientation, modeling, apprenticeship style training. And, not as random events, but frequent, on-going gatherings to be trained, equipped, and led into practicing in a high-risk clinic setting. The Word doesn't say, "Read and see", but "Taste and see that the Lord is good." Sermons and series won't do it, as valuable as they are. Jesus did all that he did while the disciples watched. He had them do it with him. He had them do it while he watched. He sent them out to do it. No shortcuts for those of us whom JRW [John Wimber] challenged back in the day, and no short cuts now. I pray that we will re-value and re-establish what made the Vineyard great and effective. It's difficult, takes commitment to the long haul, but pays off tremendously. Carve out the time, open the doors, turn on the lights, teach it from scripture, model it to the people, bring them alongside, determine to do it until Jesus returns. God is good."
