Faith ... Thou shalt not put down this newspaper

Disciples of Christ are called to obedience.

Jesus said: "If you love me, keep my commandments."

Obedience involves us totally. Yet as we give ourselves to him we discover that his service alone brings true freedom.

Life in Christ is formed in a believing community, and expressed in daily living.

We are to bring Christ's healing presence to the world for which he died, his peace to its pain and anguish.

Life in Christ brings joy, liberty, glory. But it also brings conflict with unbelief, fear, and temptation.

Throughout our lives we struggle with disheartening difficulties. Yet the Holy Spirit helps us and gives us power to grow in Christ.

While we are far from perfect yet our lives can be pleasing to God and helpful to others.

Life in Christ involves prayer, the seeking of God's will and blessing on all of life.

Prayer is openness to the presence of God. In words, or the absence of words, prayer is the focusing of our lives towards God.

As we commune with God through Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit enables us to express our deepest longings, and we experience the sustaining power of God's presence.

We live in Christ as we study the Scriptures learning to think and act in a Christian way.

The Scriptures are given that Christians may be complete, equipped for every good work.

We live in Christ as in freedom we observe Sunday as the weekly festival of the resurrection, for the worship of our Lord, rest from our work, and the enjoyment of God's world...[and lunch at Swiss Chalet.]

I couldn’t have said it better myself; except, I did add the last bit about Swiss Chalet.

Now, go with God and go far.
