I learned a valuable lesson a few summers ago in my garden. I attempted to grow a pepper plant that was not made for the Texas heat. It barely even grew a leaf. It was quite pitiful.
One of the best lessons I have learned about gardening is this, stay local.
Plants were not made to be universal, but for specific climates and soil conditions.
This is probably true for churches as well, each church was designed for a specific climate and condition.
Think about the history of University Baptist Church. After reading the history book over the last month, I understand there are some important words to the church to include college, open and inviting, thinking, and loving.
I also understand that our location is important. There is a history in this property. We planted here for a reason.
Today take time to walk University Baptist Church campus and neighborhood. We planted here for a reason. God called us here for a reason. Pray that we are answering God's call.
