We have been spending time on Mission, Vision, Values, and Goals.  As we go through reviewing them and considering revising them, it is easy to lose sight of Jesus.  He is the core of our Mission; He gives us the Vision and He is the Vision; He defines our Values and He leads our Goals.  Yet, we can lose Him in the process.

My Mission and Vision is to live out the Kingdom of God.  To live here on earth as a citizen of heaven.  To be a brother and follower of my Lord Jesus.  There is much wrapped up in this citizenship.  As a follower of Christ, praise and worship of our Father are imperative.  Prayer, scripture, and meditation are my lifeblood.  Outreach, service, and evangelism are necessary results.  Fellowship, corporate worship, and accountability are a way of life.  The Holy Spirit works to grow much fruit in and through us citizens…

And again, how easy in the midst of the hustle and bustle of ministry is it to lose touch with Jesus.  How sad to forget the Alpha and Omega of all that we do.  I am a citizen because Jesus bought me in; living out the Kingdom only comes as I keep my eye steadfast on Him.
