This document outlines the benefits of planning according to biblical principles. It teaches that God has a plan and the Bible instructs believers to plan. Planning promotes unity, communication, and clear goals. It provides seven keys to success: preparation, foundations, assessment, strategy, implementation, coaching, and adjustment. The planning process involves developing a vision, mission, values, and goals before implementation, evaluation, and adjustment. The overall message is that believers should make God their priority and unify around godly plans to glorify His name.
