New terms for older concepts

If I were to re-categorize areas of empowerment and ministry in the life of the church I think these areas would rise to the top:

Prayer

Generosity and Compassion

Praise (worship)

Relationships (Care)

Growth (Personal spiritual and more friends)

Ownership

Relationships regard how we are together (the development of friends) and whether we can rely on each other for support.

Growth is a measurement of whether we are maturing in the faith. How are you fed spiritually? What have you learned lately? Are you making progress in living out your faith?

Praise asks, "How do you engage in worship?"

Prayer asks, "Are you/we in conversation with God?"

Generosity and compassion asks, "How do we release our blessings to bless others?"

Maybe these are just new terms for older concepts. But they bear some consideration for a fresh approach to being church.

Moving to the deeper places,
Jeff
