“A mindful practice of godliness is produced by confident faith in Christ”
Mindful practice brings spiritual flourishing
Mindless practice get us nowhere we want to be
Warped faith is established on self
Confident faith is established on Jesus’ faithfulness
We are meant to be good citizens
Because we were saved from being lousy ones
And have become a new people of grace
We live in a new identity of godliness in this present age. (12, 15)
We live for our new destiny of God’s glory coming to us. (13)
We live from a new history of God’s grace that has been given. (11, 14)
Our community life code displays reverence
Our ministry life code displays righteousness
Our working life code displays beauty
Be honest and clear about the danger
Be unashamedly devoted to truth
Be decisive with action
Be gracious in the desired outcome
Authority is bestowed and not assumed
Inner life is more valuable than skill
Gospel grit is more effective than expertise
