Scripture Reflection
In Proverbs 29:18, the Bible says, "Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he." This verse emphasizes the importance of vision and principles in guiding our actions and decisions. As we reflect on Sam Adeyemi's vision for healthy churches, let us remember the significance of prioritizing principles over personalities.
