The Bible says, in Proverbs 29:18 says, KJV 18 Where there is no vision, the people perish:
But if FBCC will ACCEPT it, such is NOT our case... Because the Lord has given us a VISION FOR OUR MINISTRY here in the Channelview area...

The New Testament speaks of this in James 1:23-24
23 For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his natural face in a mirror; 24 for once he has looked at hi ...
