FIVE ACTIONS OF A FULLY ENGAGED LIFE
1. I TAKE RESPONSIBILITY DAILY FOR MY SPIRITUAL GROWTH
“Come close to God, and God will come close to you. Wash your hands, you sinners; purify your hearts, for your loyalty is divided between God and the world.” - James 4:8
2. I PRACTICE CONTENTMENT IN ALL AREAS OF MY LIFE
“I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.” - Philippians 4:12
3. I SERVE ONE HOUR A WEEK IN MY CHURCH (minimum)
“Anyone who wants to be my disciple must follow me, because my servants must be where I am. And the Father will honor anyone who serves me.” - John 12:27
“The greatest among you must be a servant.” – Matthew 23:11
4. I INVITE ONE FRIEND A MONTH TO TO CHURCH WITH ME
“‘Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful. And pray for us, too, that God may open a door for our message, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I am in chains. Pray that I may proclaim it clearly, as I should. Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity. Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.” – Colossians 4:2-6
5. I BRING THE FULL TITHE TO GOD EACH WEEK
“Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this," says the LORD Almighty, "and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not have room enough for it.” - Malachi 3:7
“Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be.” – Matthew 6:21
“By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thorn bushes, or figs from thistles? Likewise every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit.” – Matthew 7:16 - 17
