CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

This was taken from a devotional by J.D. Greear called “A Better Way to Do Christian Work”

Christians often think that if they want to serve God in the workplace, they have to take a more obvious step like opening up a coffee shop called Jehovah Java.

Really, though, your faith in Jesus will be much more effective in displaying a set of attitudes that are shaped by the gospel, including:

Integrity: When others can get away with pilfering or deceit, you don’t, because God sees. You are working and stewarding for a greater Boss and an eternal reward.

Excellence: You’re not just doing the minimum required to get by; you are trying to bless your employers and coworkers.

Servanthood: You see your work as an act of service toward other people, an attitude shaped by the belief that God created the world in an imperfect state and put men and women here as his co-creators, to develop the raw materials of the world for his glory and the benefit of fellow humans.

Hope: As a believer, your work doesn’t define you, which allows you to not take it too seriously or cheat to get ahead. You’ve found your identity as part of God’s family and not in your work. A believer is defined by his position with God, not his position on a flow chart.

The summary is the better way to “make the teaching about God our Savior attractive” (Titus 2:10 NIV) is by working with integrity, excellence, service, and hope.

Acta Non Verba – Deeds not words

1 John 3:18 – let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth. 

The context is in helping those in need; I want to apply this concept to all facets of life. Don’t talk about it, be about it. If you are to be a leader in your home, your church, your workplace and your community then let your actions speak on your behalf and tell your story. No more good intentions, no more I meant to’s, do the job and do it well. Acta Non Verba – Deeds not words

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

I get a weekly email from a site called Parent Cue. It’s a online resource for parents, with tools and tips on helping you raise your kids, whatever their age. Anyway, I rarely look at the emails, usually deleting them, but this week I took a closer look.

The short article was titled 3 Steps for Better Relationships (Even When You’re Busy). Again, I started to delete it and then I thought…Relationships! That’s the single most important thing in our lives…
They are why we exist.
They shape everything about who we are.
They give us joy, and heartache.
They are a source of our happiness, and our pain.
They drive us to succeed and sometimes to fail.
Our memories are filled by them.
They give us purpose.
They give us meaning.
We have access to our Creator because we have a relationship with his son, Jesus.

So I looked at the 3 steps and the first was to make a list of your key relationships. Your spouse, your girlfriend, your parents, your kids, your in-laws, your close friends, and Yourself! I don’t think I’ve ever done that, but I think it’s a great idea!

Number 2 was that we are to assess our relationships…Overall and then Individually… Things like…
How do we connect in our relationships?
What keeps me from being fully present with family and friends?

How well do we truly know each other?
What energizes or drains me about this relationship?
Am I the real me around this person?

Just inventory your close relationships and what they mean to you.

#3 was to Make a New Commitment for your relationships. Like putting into action things you can do to build and restore some key relationships.

The Bible has so many things to say about our relationships. You can start with Jesus. He was asked about the greatest commandment in the Law and he said to love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, and mind. Then he said love your neighbor as yourself.

Think about our group here and we know that Proverbs 27:17 says “Iron sharpens iron and one man sharpens another”. In Hebrews 10 says “let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, but encouraging one another.” That’s what we do!

If you’re married it says in Ephesians 5:28 that husbands should love their wives as their own bodies and that He who loves his wife loves himself.

Think about those challenging relationships! The joke insert here would be “the in-laws”! Ephesians 4 says “Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up…that it may give grace to those who hear”.

1 Peter 4:8 “Above all, maintain constant love for one another, since love covers a multitude of sins.”

Relationships are important! We have God given instructions to bring life and be a reflection of his light to those closest to us.
That won’t be easy, but that’s the point of the article…
Make a list of your key relationships, assess those relationships, and put into action a plan to build and/or restore these key relationships.
