Love God, Reach Out, Build Community
That's what it's all about. That's what we're all about. It's not optional.
Romans 12:2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
We all have blessings - life, skills, passions, resources - not so we can live a stress-free life, but so that we can step up and take part in God's plan.
Worship Him - Start with love and worship. Worship services are the entry point for many to come into that relationship with God.
Submit to Him - Give your blessings back to God. Remember what those blessings are for.
Know Him - Grow in knowledge, deepen your relationship.
Talk to Him - A key part of marriage counseling is communication - couples need to talk. Likewise we need to have conversations with God.
Think about Him - All week long.
As we live out these disciplines, our good influence in the world will grow.
We need to apply the Gospel in our lives and in the world.
We must maintain a healthy view of God's mercy - don't look down at our own worries, but up at God's mercy.
"We love God to the extent that we are blown away by His mercy."
