Spiritual Priorities
QUALITY OVER QUANTITY
God cares more about the quality of our character and motives than the size of our audience or the volume of our work. He cares less about the size of our organization and more about how the authenticity of our witness and how deeply we are impacting those in our care. (See 1 Samuel 15:22 & Proverbs 15:16)
TRUTH OVER OPINION
Opinions change with the weather, but it is the truth that sets us free. And by truth, I don’t mean your truth or mine, but rather God’s truth, which is His word. And because Jesus is both the word of God (John 1:1) and the Truth of God (John 14:6), He is the final judge of that which is right, good, just, and true in everyone’s life. This is why we can confidently declare, “Let God be true, but every man a liar.” (See also John 8:32, John 17:17, & Romans 3:4)
GROWTH OVER COMFORT
The path of growth and maturity can be uncomfortable and even scary at times, but the pay off is lifechanging for us and those who depend on us. (See John 15:2)
COMMUNITY OVER ISOLATION
The easiest target for a Woolf is the sheep that is away from the flock. Community covers (as in watching you back) and connection brings healing. Furthermore, the Bible says, “In the multitude of counsel, there is safety.” Being surrounded with wise advice and different viewpoints helps us to make better decisions in life. It also helps to minimize pride and rebellion as we are forced to humbly consider ideas other than our own. (See Proverbs 11:14 & Proverbs 18:1)
JESUS OVER EVERYTHING
There is a throne in everyone’s heart and we must choose who sits upon it. Will it be people? Material belongings? Ourselves? Money and popularity? Other gods? Or will it be the only one worthy—Jesus Christ? He alone is worthy of such an honor, and He alone can satisfy our souls with the endless wonders of His love. If we seek first His Kingdom and righteousness, God will be faithful to provide all else that we need. (See Matt. 6:33)
