Sitting in Class

I'm sitting in a class that is focusing on prayer and spirituality. We're discussing how worldview, core values affects our actions in the long-run. They often by-pass our belief system. For example, we believe in the priesthood of all believers, but we still want the pastor to be the one who prays with us.... We believe what Adventists believe, but we don't go to church.... We don't eat pork and we convince our live-in girlfriend to give it up too....

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.............

What we're dealing with on the Mission/Vision team is SO important to the future of our actions as a church. Core Values are our deeply held belief about HOW we do ministry/live life as we pursue our mission. Our mission, should reflect the great commission. But does it? Well....that's to be defined.

Regardless of where we are, where we are going, and how we go about doing it, we need to be focused on Jesus Christ. Look at this quote:

"Prayer is the answer to every problem in life. It puts us in tune with divine wisdom which knows how to adjust everything perfectly. So often we do not pray in certain situations, because from our standpoint the outlook is hopeless. But nothing is impossible with God. Nothing is so entangled that it cannot be remedied; no human relationship is too strained for God to bring about reconciliation and understanding; no habit so deep rooted that it cannot be overcome; no one is so weak that he cannot be strong; no one is so ill that he cannot be healed. No mind is so dull that it cannot be made brilliant. Whatever we need, if we trust God He will supply it. If anything is causing worry or anxiety, let us stop REHEARSING the difficulty and trust God for healing, love and power."

Be a Difference Maker!
