IF THE POWERPOINT FROM WEDNESDAY DIDN’T WORK, HERE ARE MY TRUTHS IN WRITING;
- CONCERNING GOD’S INTENTION FOR LIFE. The universe is more than a mechanical heartless, series of chance events. Life has meaning, and history has a purpose. It is greater than we can imagine, but God will complete God’s intentions.
- God’s purpose is discovered in community. Human community brings out the best and the worst in us, but truth is discovered in relationships. Therefore the church is critical in our spiritual journey even when it is imperfect.
- The key to life is in giving. God gave us a) a world that sustains all life, b) our particular life, c) our talents, d) our wealth. God gave us Jesus who gave us his life. The more we give of ourselves, our wealth, our talents to others in relationships, the closer we reflect God’s image in ourselves. The closer we reflect God, the more we are true to our true nature.
- Love is the key to living. Love considers the other before self. Without love, giving builds self up. Without love, the community is destroyed. You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind, and soul and you shall love your neighbor as yourself.
It was prettier in the powerpoint.
Maybe as part of someone’s giving, they can teach me how to embed a powerpoint production into a blog.
