Ex nihilo. • • • In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was formless and empty, and darkness covered the deep waters. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters. Then God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. And God saw that the light was good. Then he separated the light from the darkness. Genesis 1:1‭-‬4 • • • #carryingthecross #Christianity #Jesus #christianinspiration #WordofGod #BibleQuote #Faith #Love #Mission #lifechange #coaching #lifecoach #purpose #mission #identity #inspiration #drive #dreamchase #encouragement #leadership #leaders #goaloriented #goals #purposedriven #lifegoals #success #motivation #ideasforlife

Mission birthed a Church. • • • Jesus said, "Now I say to you that you are Peter (which means ‘rock’), and upon this rock I will build my church, and all the powers of hell will not conquer it. And I will give you the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven. Whatever you forbid on earth will be forbidden in heaven, and whatever you permit on earth will be permitted in heaven.” Matthew 16:18‭-‬19 • • • #carryingthecross #Christianity #Jesus #christianinspiration #WordofGod #BibleQuote #Faith #Love #Mission #lifechange #coaching #lifecoach #purpose #mission #identity #inspiration #drive #dreamchase #encouragement #leadership #leaders #goaloriented #goals #purposedriven #lifegoals #success #motivation #ideasforlife

Calling stems from identity. • • • “I knew you before I formed you in your mother’s womb. Before you were born I set you apart and appointed you as my prophet to the nations.” Jeremiah 1:5 • • • #carryingthecross #Christianity #Jesus #christianinspiration #WordofGod #BibleQuote #Faith #Love #Mission #lifechange #coaching #lifecoach #purpose #mission #identity #inspiration #drive #dreamchase #encouragement #leadership #leaders #goaloriented #goals #purposedriven #lifegoals #success #motivation #ideasforlife

The Great Commandment and the Great Commission. • • • Jesus replied, “‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. A second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ Matthew 22:37‭-‬39 • • • #carryingthecross #Christianity #Jesus #christianinspiration #WordofGod #BibleQuote #Faith #Love #Mission #lifechange #coaching #lifecoach #purpose #mission #identity #inspiration #drive #dreamchase #encouragement #leadership #leaders #goaloriented #goals #purposedriven #lifegoals #success #motivation #ideasforlife

The early disciples told the gospel story through many perspectives. They also made sense of Christ by joining in his missional imperative in many ways and contexts. Click the link in the description to read why I think we must decolonize Christ in today's world.
