Non-negotiable D2NA –
“Four activities command our
attention.”
Once
the newborn Church inhaled its first breath, the Holy
Spirit started leading God’s people to immerse themselves
in four activities that are timelessly useful for spiritual
formation and impact. These elements of “DNA” are still the
primary means God uses to vitally connect us with Himself,
each other and the world around us. Churches are most
healthy when everyone involved is devoted to maintaining a
balanced diet of all four (the first two of which serve a
single purpose).
•
Divine
connection (loving God) via devoting
ourselves to:
1.
God’s word –
Helping us grow an understanding, trusting, loving and
obedient relationship with God.
2.
Prayer/Praise –
Helping us cultivate a personal, humble, attentive and
adoring interaction with God. (This also includes learning
how to listen
to him together.)
•
Nurturing
relationships (loving other believers) –
Developing lots of open, generous and mutually edifying
connections with each other.
•
Apostolic
mission (loving unbelievers) –
Meaningfully connecting with the world around us and
significantly impacting it with the love and truth of
Christ.
