The church's mission extends beyond its internal activities and care. It also has a critical external role, rooted in the Great Commission and the call to be a light to the world and salt of the Earth.
The love and unity within the church are powerful testimonies to the transformative power of the Gospel. The church's internal care and activity serve as a model for the broader society, reflecting the kingdom of God on earth.
We spend most of our waking hours working and therefore must take the time to understand all that God has to say about work. How are we to go about our day-to-day vocational life? Does God value hard work?
The call to be diligent in discernment requires weighing everything—what we watch, read, think, say, and do—against God’s character and commands. Doing this is not salvific in nature, meaning it does not save us. However, it is the evidence of active faith that reveals we have been saved.
