Do All to the Glory of God
The essential prerequisite to knowing the will of God is a willingness to do it before you know what it is—and walking in God’s will feels good!
Listening to God
God’s voice comes with its own authority and enables us to know with confidence what is true and what is right.
God Gives the Gifts
Scripture encourages us to seek God and trust Him to gift us as He sees fit. Our responsibility is to yield to the Holy Spirit; however He chooses to fill us is His responsibility.
Our Most Important Belief
The most important belief that we can have is a true knowledge of God and who we are in relationship to Him. Although God is infinite and beyond our understanding, He has chosen to make Himself known to us through Christ.
God's Concept of Happiness
As long as you are focusing on what you don't have, you'll be unhappy. But when you begin to appreciate what you already have, you'll begin to experience the joys of life.
Conforming to the Image of God
Divine guidance will never come to those whose primary goal is not first and foremost conforming to the image of God.
God is Loving and Compassionate
God loves us because it is His nature to love, and that is why His love is unconditional.
Peace on Earth
Peace is related to the internal order of our lives and not to the external disorder of the world. Peace on earth is what we want, but peace with God is something we already have.
God is Merciful & Good
God is the author of life, and in His mercy and goodness He makes right what His rebellious creation has made wrong.
Goals & Desires
There is nothing wrong with having godly desires, but we cannot base our identity and sense of worth on their fulfillment.
The Key to Satisfaction
Satisfaction comes from living righteously and seeking to raise the level of quality in relationships, service and products. To raise the level of satisfaction, you have to focus on raising the quality.
How to Find Fulfillment
Fulfillment is related to your calling in life. God has a place of ministry for you, and it is important to your sense of fulfillment to realize what that is.
Be at Peace with Each Other
Reconciliation occurs when repentance and forgiveness removes the enmity that exists between two parties. We cannot assume responsibility for the lives of others, but we must assume responsibility for our own attitudes and actions.
Uniquely Gifted to Serve
The Holy Spirit manifests spiritual gifts in the Body of Christ for the edification of all. The sanctifying process requires that the whole Body of Christ work together, and the Holy Spirit equips each individual to serve one another in three ways.
Resolving a Past Conflict
It doesn't do any good to feel guilty about something over which you have no control. But you can seek to resolve past conflicts and immediately evaluate the present circumstance to bring it into perspective.
Perceiving Others Through a Godly Lens
s important as it is for you to believe in your true identity as a child of God, it is equally important that you perceive other Christians for who they are and treat them accordingly.
God's Goals for You
If God wants something done, can it be done? In other words, if God has a goal for your life, can it be blocked, or is its fulfilment uncertain or impossible?
