Perspective in Church Safety

We have a great God, unfathomable in both power and wisdom.

Perspective in Church Safety from God's Unfathomable Power & Wisdom

Certainly it only makes sense that we trust Him for His power to keep us safe. Yet, will we trust Him in His wisdom when He allows us to be in harm’s way? Do we really believe that He’s wise enough to know what He’s doing? Perspective comes when we couple God’s power with His wisdom.

Perspective about God’s Power & Wisdom in Church Safety

Like Jesus said when tempted by Satan to throw Himself down off the temple so God could protect Him, we shouldn’t intentionally place ourselves in harm’s way, putting the Lord to the test (Matt. 4:5-7). As leaders we do have a responsibility when it comes to church safety. Develop church safety policies and practices. The best preparation for the congregation, however, comes in learning to trust a God who is able to keep us safe yet is also wise enough and powerful enough to work all things together for a greater good regardless of what happens (Rom. 8:28). That’s the kind of perspective we need!

The Steering the Church Toward God’s Power Leadership Guide provides three biblical examples of God’s wisdom at work when He held back His power which helps us better understand the kind of perspective we need in church safety issues. This resource also looks at 24 other areas for which leaders may be responsible and in need of God’s power.
