"In non-essentials, liberty. In essentials, unity. In all things - love."
Blaise Pascal

6. Compassion drives outreach. Let's be spontaneous, free, and open to God's spirit to however, whenever, whatever, and wherever He leads in the moment. May our love for others cast out anything prohibiting us from reaching out with  Christ centered love. He is the reason, and the season is always open.

YOU!

Empowerment for
Christ Centered Living

The Eight Essentials

1. Jesus Christ was God incarnate - God in human flesh. He died for us, took away our condemnation, and redeemed us. He left the Spirit as our comfort and guide. His Life is lived in those who place their faith in Him. We walk and live in Him through the Spirit. Be led by the power of the Spirit, and you will live as a disciple of Christ.

2. The mind is our director. In Christ, we have a new mind, a new Director.  Scripture admonishes to focus on whatever is lovely, noble, pure, just, and worthy of praise. GIGO: GOOD IN - GOOD OUT. Acknowledge Him in all you do. He will direct your steps down the right path. He will fill your heart with thanksgiving and praise.

3. Our body is a temporary flesh dwelling. It contains the Spirit, Mind, and Body, our earthly 'three in one.' They work simultaneously to fuel the fire within. It's a  fire that blazes by how well we honor Christ, and develop the 'three in one.' Honor Christ by taking care of your Body, (the temple), with good nutrition and consistent exercise.

4. Through Christ we're adopted into a new family, God's family, the Body of Christ. We're to 'one another' one another. That is, we submit to, admonish, exhort, stir up, confront, confess, and restore one another. Show concern for, be devoted to, and willing to lay down our lives for one another. That's what Christ centered family is - one anothering one another.

5. We gather together as the church, Christ's bride, His Body. We come thirsty and hungry with  a  burning desire to worship Him, exalt Him, and  place  Him  at center stage. Every  person  is  led  to participate spontaneously and freely. We open our lives before one another, and counsel one another through the leading of the Holy Spirit. The bible is used as an additional guide.

6. Compassion drives our outreach. We're to be spontaneous, free, and open to God's spirit to however, whenever, whatever, and wherever He leads in the moment. May our love and compassion for others cast out any fear that prohibits us from reaching out. He is the reason, and the season is always open.

7. Education, mass media, news organizations, music, government, etc., mold the cultural landscape of nations. If we don't disciple the  culture  it disciples us. Discover and maximize your gifts. Gather with those who exhort you to stretch your horizons to penetrate, and transform the culture  as you allow Jesus to live through you in the world in which you live.

8. Feed a man a fish, and you feed him one meal. Teach him to fish, and you feed him for life. Christ centered ministry is built as we involve others as we build. This feeds their ministry for life. "Come, follow me", Jesus said, "and I will make you fishers of men." Going fishing? Take another along, and reproduce the LIFE by making them a fisher of men.
