Proverbs 28:1-9 The wicked flee when no on pursues, but he righteous are bold as a lion. One of the thing s missing today is boldness.  We have become timid. We are afraid of others thinking we are too zealous. God tells us without vision, people perish. My simplest definition of vision is "BOLDNESS OF MIND". God created us to be creative.. we should think outside the box. We need to clearly get a word from God; then we need to be STRONG, CONSISTENT AND STEADFAST in building and fleshing out that vision. God I'd not call us to quit...we are not going to get to heaven and get extra credit for being apathetic or boring.  He reason others are critical of you for being on fire for the Lord and "bold as a lion" it becaue it exposed their backslidden condition.  We need to be bold in action as well as in speech. If we seed to be more like Jeuss, we should be BOLD for Jesus. He IS the Lion of Judah!  LIVE BOLD! In the MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS for it is WITH GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE Matthew 19:26 

Amen
