Challenge for the week:
Read: Beyond Ourselves – Chapter 6
Question: Are you willing to lose everything, for God? Imagine armed forces storming into your home, demanding you give up your faith or face losing everything. Would you buckle and deny your faith, or will you proclaim your faith and watch as they tear your house apart, breaking your furniture, smashing your memories and shattering your history, your life, before burning everything to the ground – leaving you and your family destitute, cold and vulnerable?
For yourself: What is it that you really want, but can’t seem to get, no matter what you do? Whether it be a secret desire, or life-long challenge – write it down, as well as all the steps you have taken to achieve it. Also write down why you still don’t have it, what happened to block it.
For your relationship: Take the various relationships you have and go through them, but don’t delve too deep. When you think of a hindrance, an annoyance, what is the first thing that comes to mind? Why does it bother you? What have you done about it? How does it affect your feelings and actions towards this person?
For your community: What is the current state of your community, your province, your country? Are they being governed in a godly manner? What would change if they were?
