Last year we gradually and steadily introduced our two first core values, Serve First and Missional Living. Now, after thought, prayer, and God's leading, we are focusing on a third core value, No Compromise. It is based out of a deep passion to live holy lives according to the teaching of our only plumb-line for truth, God's Word.
Check out 1 Peter 1:13-17...
Therefore, with minds that are alert and fully sober, set your hope on the grace to be brought to you when Jesus Christ is revealed at his coming. As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance. But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is written: “Be holy, because I am holy." Since you call on a Father who judges each person’s work impartially, live out your time as foreigners here in reverent fear.
This year, choose to have no compromise in your thoughts. Don't let ideas or fantasies that you know are lies to rule your thinking, but rather dwell on what is good, true, and excellent (according to Philippians 4:8). This year, choose to have no compromise in your actions. Don't let fear, anger, or selfishness determine what you do, but rather have a love for God and for people that leads you to actions of mission, love, and compassion.
Don't be stupid... no compromise!!!
