...to become a
kingdom of worshipping priests who will worship
Him with all our beings--spirit, soul, and body.
We are to live our lives of worship, giving
praise continually unto the Lord. Our churches
are to be noted for their praise and
celebration. We are to learn a worship lifestyle
that will model for the whole world what it
means to love God with all our might, mind, and
means.
...to become a learning
community of believers who give themselves to
maturing and maximizing the gifts and calling of
each member of the community. We commit ourselves
to equipping the saints for their work of ministry
and to teaching them a lifestyle of learning that
we may all grow in the knowledge of God and in
effectiveness in ministry.
...to become an army of
witnesses who will live to share the good news.
Our whole lifestyle is to be built around the
compassion to witness. We are to witness as we
travel, as we study, as we eat, as we work, and as
we play. We are to choose our vocations, our
homes, our church sites, our dress, our language,
our friends, and our neighbors in order to better
witness to our generation.
...to become a unique
instrument of world evangelization which will
penetrate many un-reached peoples of this earth
with the gospel. We are to gear up like an
invading army to go into the strongholds of the
enemy with our lifestyle of worship, learning, and
witness in order to spread the kingdom of God and
the reign of King Jesus.
