Will we endure the fire...

Over the next few months, Justin and I will be visiting different churches to find the one that is the right fit for the two of us... this is a big deal. He's traditional... and I'm well... a member of Zion Church ;-) Today we visited Reid Temple's Silver Spring satellite campus. The title of the message today was Firm Foundation... with I Corinthians 3:10-16 has the reference. In this passage, Paul discusses the foundation on which Jesus Christ is the bases of our decisions. As the message continued, he addressed the value of our fruit... will our actions and decisions withstand the fire? This made me think about a period in my life as a leader of Alpha Nu Omega, Inc. when I questioned if the fruits of my labor were actually good fruit... had I made the right decisions... would my actions truly reflect what God desired for my life and the lives of those around me. Would it in fact stand up against the fire...

Even now, I ask myself those same questions as a regional officer... Will the actions of the MART stand against the change in leadership? Will the sacrifices of time, energy and sleep strengthen the integrity and recognition of the organization that has had such a profound impact on my life? Then I began to question if I based my actions on the firm foundation of Christ, or did I base it on the hubris that comes along with holding a title and position.

Members of ANQ... ask yourselves, will the actions you've taken and decisions you've made regarding building the kingdom under the banner of ANQ stand the test of time? Or will the ashes simply blow away and disappear...
