People arent looking for an echo of the culture, they re seeking an ALTERNATIVE to it.
ACCOUNTABLE COMMUNITY SACRED SPACE SEED-CASTERS
Non-negotiable ASPIRATIONS, deeply held BELIEFS, and fundamental driving FORCES.
Values remind us what is GOLD and what is simply GOLD PLATED
Return to me, so I can return to you, says Lord GOD.
You ask, But how do we return? Begin by BEING HONEST. Do honest people rob God? But you rob me day after day. You ask, How have we robbed you?
The tithe and the offeringthats how! And now you re under a curse the whole lot of you because you re robbing me. Bring your full tithe to the Temple treasury so there will be ample provisions in my Temple.
Test me in this and see if I dont open up heaven itself to you and pour out blessings beyond your wildest dreams. For my part, I will defend you against marauders, protect your wheat fields and vegetable gardens against plunderers. Malachi 3:10

G R A T I T U D E is breathing in accepting and expanding our lives G E N E R O S I T Y is breathing out - releasing our anxiety and fear
We give up things WE LOVE for things WE LOVE even more! Giving up our small trinkets and tiny toys is nothing compared to joining God s noble purpose.
"Here lies the tremendous mystery - that God should be all- powerful, yet refuse to COERCE. He summons us to COOPERATION. We are honored in being given the opportunity to participate in his good deeds. Remember how He asked for help in performing his miracles: Fill the waterpots, stretch out your hand, distribute the loaves." Elisabeth Elliot
