Measure Twice. Buy Once.
We are replacing our previous mower and Oscar Cantu said to me, “Measure to make sure it will fit in the shed.” I was told that the previous mower had a 48” deck so I get a new mower with a 46” deck. No problem, right? Wrong. As it turns out the previous mower had a 42” deck—a detail I would have discovered if I had measured to make sure it would fit.
As we pursue the vision to multiply and become disciples who make disciples we have to learn more about God through his word. Here is some advice: measure it yourself. Yes, I know you have heard some sermons. Yes, I know you have been told some Bible stories. Yes, I’m sure your elementary Sunday School teacher was wonderful. However, what if what you think you know isn’t quite right? What if it is off just enough that it is not actually the truth from God anymore?
