New thoughts

I don't really have an update, Just thoughts.

We recently all here on the team have been discussing making wise decisions, that edify the body of believers. The more I think about this, and see how making poor decisions effect people who look up to christians, I think it is very important.

We as people in general need consistent friendships. We need honesty, openness, and transparency. We also need to be built up, and encouraged to do good.

So when we are self seeking, and make decisions that aren't necessarily bad, but definitely aren't edifying or wise, we hinder the walk or pursuit of a walk for many. When we try and hide those decisions we make, it even further hinders relationships, because it makes the non believer, or person we are trying to encourage to the Lord, feel we are preaching goodness and a life that pleases the Lord, but we ourselves don't really believe in that life.

Maybe this is taking a life that pleases the Lord to an extreme, but I feel that if we all truly want to live missionally, and a life that does in fact please the Lord, we need to be open, honest, and transparent, and edify the body of believers, and leave the petty self seeking actions aside, for the sake of the gospel, and the sake of the people who are looking at us to find something better. Basically we should all be consistent, honest with our friends, edifying, and not shady. :)

Love you all and miss you!
