Below are my suggested reflections on the signs of the times, please be
guided
accordingly --
1. Discover the transforming Word of God in Lamentations (especially
chapter 3),
and Jesus' Prayer for Unity (John 17:20-21) which is our Theme for Year
2008, and
reflect on the path God is leading you.
2. Review your covenant card and pray/reflect where you stand before
God. Do
not speculate where Manila stands before God, but seek where Thailand
stands
before God.
3. Pray, pray, pray. Surrender and offer CFC Thailand to God.
4. Seek to be with God. Seek not to be with the CFC International
Council or with
CFC Foundation for Family and Life. Avoid making emotional decisions.
5. Stop speculating and attributing reasons for the behavior of
others, it is not
charitable to do so.
6. Stop lobbying. If there is a need to lobby for a position, then it
can't be
of God.
7. Stop trying to convince anyone. A person "convinced" against his
will is
still of
the same opinion.
8. Do not condemn those who hold to a position different from yours.
They are
still our brothers and sisters. Give them the benefit of doubt that
they are
seeking
God’s will as much as you do.
9. Do not allow those in your household to bad-mouth anyone on either
side.
10. Pray daily for the community, especially your leaders. Read the
Scriptures
daily and seek God's guidance for you. Review your position and
discuss
openly and graciously, without prejudice and bias, with your HH leaders
(maybe
after every three months or so). |
