If vision establishes the destination you want to reach, and if mission defines the path that takes you there, goals are the milestones that measure your progress. They don’t make you more saved or less saved. They don’t give your family more status or less status. They just help keep you motivated and determined to become everything you can possibly be for Him—and able to celebrate and worship Him..
Why do you think God, in Isaiah 6, gave His reluctant prophet a vision of Himself “sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up,” where the train of His robe “filled the temple”? Why did God reveal to him angels with six wings, worshiping at such high volume that the doorposts of the throne room..
Values help you steer you business culture but also the spiritual, relational, and missional direction of your family, while also giving your spouse and kids a GPS for keeping their personal lives on target, helping them stay balanced and aligned along a consistent standard.

My friends, I hope you have been challenged by my last blog post in this last week and you have made an attempt at making harmony where there was conflict in your life. As we continue in our series on how God’s Word guides us on the path to godly leadership and parenting, today’s lesson is..
