What is your mission statement in life/motto?
I believe this is mine (the short version)
To be apart of a people that takes the church (the body of Christ) from where it is, to, where it should be.
To show forth God's love. :HeartThrob:
To teach Christ in us. :dsunny:
To procliam freedom to the captives. :boogie:

For me "Seek the wisdom of the ages, but look at the world through the eyes of a child."~ Ron Wild
My mission is to go to that happy place (or state of being)........and to take everyone with me. :cloud9:
My Mission Statement:
The Christian Church has been commissioned as ambassadors of Jesus Christ not to correct and lay the foundation of the Law on the world, but rather reveal the salvation of the world through the message of reconciliation in their Savior Jesus Christ (John 3:15-18) who has delivered us from the curse of the Law and brought us into His wonderful Grace. The foundation of our Savior Jesus Christ has already been laid and the role of the Church is to help direct and teach how to build on that foundation, by not just be living in the Spirit but walking after it (1 Corinthians 3:6-15; Romans 8:1-3). Based on commandments of Christ and the example set forth by His apostles (1 Corinthians 3:6-15 and 1 John 4).
Short Version:
Building on the Foundation of Jesus Christ: If your knowledge, wisdom and understanding are poor, what you build will be of same quality. If your knowledge, wisdom and understanding are great, what you build will be of same quality.
To help set the captives FREE
Isaiah 61
The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;
To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;
Good one too Loveroftruth :thumbsup:
My mission statement is a combination of a few that have already been touched upon. To know what is the good, acceptable perfect will of God--then to expound on the love of God in the presence of others. Starting out small and increasing, to grasp the depth of his love in wisdom, and deliver it to the world in love.
Davo
To expound
HE is The " WAY ", The " TRUTH " and The " LIFE "....

Amen that is so ingrained in my heart that I could never think of a better "mission statement." I have taken it as my own, knowing it was there, even before I even thought to capsulate it with scripture.
We will never be complete until the last soul is healed and finds it rest in the Father bosom.
Thanks LoT and I know you won't mind sharing that mission and the statement that describes it. :HeartThrob:

Note: My BC motto used to be:
It takes a big man to cry but it takes a bigger man to laugh at him. :laughing7:

Live simple, love much!
Paul
Gal 6:1 Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.
Gal 6:2 Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.

:cloud9: To pick up my cross and follow Him. Everything else comes out of that..........
It's very simple for me. "Love ALL, worship ONE."
(1) Obey God
(2) Serve People
(3) Rest in the Results

This is definetly how I feel. :bigGrin:
So many wonderful replies!!!
I don't think I have a mission, if I were to state one, it would be " To try to live my Life as He would have me live, and to strive to seek out His will for me".
Of course, I have to say TRY, since I am definitely fallible.
Genesis 5:24 :HeartThrob:
2Cr 5:19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. :bgdance:
2Cr 5:20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech [you] by us: we pray [you] in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God. :boydance: :Yesss:
My mission? :thinking: I don't have one, but God does and he will acomplish whatever he desires of me.

:cloud9: My mission is to die so that He can live thru me. :thumbsup:
:cloud9: Amen!
Micah 6:8 He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?
To LOVE mercy! We could meditate on that one a while, eh? :HeartThrob:
It's not about me.
It's about them.
I find my life in them.
(for me the 'them' is children)
(I'm a mother and teacher as you can tell :mblush:)
Amen, Sarah! Whenever everything seems totally messed up- just love everyone you come in contact with and see how quickly life makes sense again! :HeartThrob:
Hey Sarah: Super "Mission"! We NEED more teachers like you, Sis! Just wanted to say, "Thanks for answering His Call" in this important work! Grace & Peace, John :HeartThrob:
So true Hopeful....I go through times of doubt, and He uses these ones to help me. I had a little native 1st grader with his chubby cheeks tell me that he saw Jesus that morning and their was an angel on each side. And you know when a kid is telling you the truth...that's what he saw.
QuoteHey Sarah: Super "Mission"! We NEED more teachers like you, Sis! Just wanted to say, "Thanks for answering His Call" in this important work! Grace & Peace, John
:mblush:
:cloud9: Wasn't that awesome? That blessed me. :thumbsup:
Very very cool.
:cloud9: You know I didn't mention WHY, that blessed me. It was blessing enough that the little one saw Jesus, but the fact He saw Him with an "angel" on each side, was a great blessing, and an indicator of what I already know by the Spirit to be true, ie. the feast of Tabernacles has begun. The disciples on the mount saw Him the same way. Blessings to all.......
Sarah,
The Bible reveals that the Overcomers are both Kings and Priests unto our God. many in ministry have the King part down pretty well, but do not have the heart of a Priest. I Priest ministers to God and ministers from God to the people. It seems that children are being used to conform your heart to that of a Priest. It is about dying to self to meet the needs of others.
John
My motto:
Jesus didn't come to change the world...
He came to SAVE the world!!
and that's just what he did.
My mission is TO KNOW GOD AND JESUS CHRIST WHOM HE SENT. :happygrin:
And my motto is GOD MEANT IT FOR GOOD!!! :thumbsup:
A couple of hours ago I would have posted 1Thessalonians 3:8-13 and Hosea 2:18, but as I was about to post it, the very very clearest Word of the Lord came to me saying that my mission statement from here on out is Psalm 21 and Psalm 45 and that my motto is Romans 5:17. Those passages don't exactly outline very many tasks for me, so I've been sitting here for well over an hour reading and rereading them to get the point, and they seem to be more about quality of life issues than a laundry list of do's. They're a re-affirmation of 1Peter 5:6-7 that if I'll keep every care cast upon Him, then He'll take care of everything else.
ahhh-the rest :icon_king:
Very short version;
Do no harm,
by:
Do know harm!

Concise and powerful! I love this one.
Thanks,
Use it if you like.

1. To show people how Christ has kept me alive through an eating disorder and suicide attempts.
2. To fight violence against women- I'm not one of the pro-abortion advocates- I'm talking about REAL women's issues like FGM, domestic abuse, and cultures that advocate women's subordination, like in the Middle East.

Things I like: God/Jesus
Emailing people things I feel God wants me to and that I want to about Him.
Letting people know I care, and so they can See God through what is done for them.
I love Giving....I just NEED the finances! I love to give and give and give, and give and give. To those in Need.
I believe that if I won the lottery, I'd stand out front the Food Pantry and hand those people a Thousand dollars, or a new car or something....and then go hide. That would be the most fun I could have in the whole wide world!

Hi Shadowland, I love doing that as well. I had to learn that I cannot do that and expect anything in return I am glad God showed me that because it is such fun to write something and just send it and let God do the work with it.
To lead others out of their own bondage, into the kingdom, beyond religion through relationship.
To illuminate the fire that is already burning within us and enjoy it's warmth as others feed the flames of the All Mighty consuming fire.
I also liked that one "love all, worship one" . . .that was really good.
I'm in CHB's camp. I don't seem to have any clear mission that I can discern. But I know God will eventually use me how and when He desires.
I'd like to help others to see how complete the salvation/restoration of the Lord is, but no one seems to really wants to see it. At least that's been my experience up to now. That will change in due time.
To walk with Him each day.
I heard a story of a man who was seen as a real saint of God, someone who had walked hand in hand with the Savior for many years. Someone wanted to see how such a saintly person said their bedtime prayers, figuring it would surely be a powerful thing to behold. It was. They expectantly peeked into his open window one night, and as the old fellow slipped into bed, he gently said "good night, Lord".
