We live in a world where the true meaning of love has been distorted. Mankind has taken a gift from God, which He intended as special and meaningful, and turned it into something manufactured and artificial. Love by the standards of our world has been reduced to something pleasing to the eye and purely physical in nature. Real love, according to the manner in which God intended, is so much more and carries a much deeper purpose for our lives.
Every person holds true to a set of values which speak to what is most important in their life. Organizations, especially churches, should hold true to the values assigned to them by God. If our core values are not in alignment with God’s Word, then we must prayerfully and honestly evaluate them and willingly make changes which will bring us back into agreement with Him. Afterall, our values dictate our behavior, unify us in our beliefs, and keep us grounded in the Word.
Every person operates with a “mission statement”. Some realize this and embrace it. Others spend most of their lives not knowing what it is that truly motivates them. A mission statement allows the world around us to see who it is we are behind the curtain. At MFBC, our purpose is found in our mission statement. The challenge becomes whether or not we truly embody its words.
