"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.

4. Through Christ we're adopted into a new family, the Body of Christ. We're to 'one another' one another. That is, 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 for - one anothering one another.

5. We gather as the church, Christ's bride, His Body in warm, open, gatherings. We come with hungry hearts  ablaze with a desire to worship, exalt, and  place Him at the center. Every member participates freely. We open our lives before one another, and counsel one another through the leading of the Holy Spirit with  the bible as an additional guide.

2. The mind is our director. In Christ, we have a new mind, a new Director.  Scripture admonishes us 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 you down the right path. He will fill your heart with thanksgiving and praise.

3. Our body is a temporary flesh dwelling containing our Spirit, Mind, and Body - our earthly 'three in one.' They work freely and simultaneously to fuel the fire within. It's a fire that brightens determined by how well  we develop the 'three in one.' Honor Christ by taking care of your Body, (temple), through a nutritious diet and exercise.

Grow Home!

7. Education, mass media, news organizations, music, government, etc., mold the cultural landscape of the 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.
