Well, it's been about a year since we started working from the mission that God gave us. I guess it's time to reflect on those things that fulfilled that mission and those that did not....weeding out those that didn't.
In our Mission Statement, we said that we were committed to supporting the mission of Roswell Street Baptist Church by Exalting the Savior, Evangelizing the Sinner, and Equipping the Saints. I believe we haev engaged in all three at some level over the past year.
We also said "our mission is to meet women where they are, developing relationships, telling them the good news and preparing them for Christian living through discipleship." I believe we have begun this good work to honor the Kingdom and to honor God but "begun" is the operative word. There is so much more to be done.
We've become comfortable in our safe environment but Carol Paschal and Kurt Salierno have challenged us to get out of our comfort places by supporting homeless. Our Pastor has encouraged us to reach out to the families from Upward Basketball; many don't have church homes or families in the area and might need a new friend or two. We are being discipled by excellent Bible teachers and our Pastor but now it is time for us to disciple, as well.
What are your plans to serve God and another person or couple this year? Have you prayed about the person or people you are to serve in 2008 as our Pastor has challenged us to do? It is time to find out who we are in Christ, how to disciple another for Him, and who to serve in 2008 before this month is over. Answer the call. God's call on your life......
