Independence or Dependence

Our world continually fights for independence.

On an international level, countries strive to achieve their freedom. They want to stand on their own, make their own way, establish their own direction.

On a professional level, the business world demonstrates similar areas as individuals and companies work for financial liberty.

On a personal level, if not careful, we train our children to do the same. We urge them to grow up and learn how to make it on their own.

From a spiritual perspective, we need to teach a greater dependence on God and let Him handle the rest.

Improvement

To improve is to make someone or something better.

Athletes practice daily to improve their skills.

Professionally, people take continuing education classes to improve their abilities.

Religiously, we renew ourselves daily because it improves our ability to fulfill God’s will in our lives.

As leaders, we strive to improve ourselves by improving others.

We improve others when we:

…share the hope found in Christ,
…point to the reward of heaven, and
…teach application in word and action.

Everyone needs to improve. The challenge is learning that the greatest way to improve ourselves is by improving the life of others.
