While these things primarily involve principles and attitudes, the way they are fleshed out in growth applications must be uniquely tailored to each individual.
The Scriptures declare that "Loving the Lord with all our heart, soul, and mind" is the first and greatest commandment. It is through this prism that we need to see all other values. It is the filter through which all life's choices and solutions are made, and it is the source for all our ministry involvement. No ministry to people is valid without this priority firmly in place. It is out of this commandment that we can fulfill with love and compassion the second commandment from which our ministry flows...to love our neighbors.
God, give us an insatiable thirst to know You above all else! May this be our lifelong passion.
