Spiritbuilding's Vision and Purpose
What is your vision for your ministry and your business?
I was asked this question yesterday while sitting with one our writers here at Spiritbuilding Publishers. I appreciated his question. As I thought of how to answer, my mind went to what someone else said earlier in the day as they stopped to talk to me a few minutes after walking onto the Florida College campus. This brother, who I had never met personally before, began his conversation with me by saying I am known for being a bridge builder. Wow. What a great compliment. Later in the day, as I answered the writer’s question, bridge building was on my mind. I said I wanted to be known as a servant of Christ who is a committed disciple of Jesus and build relationships with all in the church. I don’t want to be committed to a label; I want to be connected to Christ and His people. This is my mission in ministry, and it is the idea that propels the business my wife and I own. Spiritbuilding is not just for brethren of one inclination or group -- it's for all brethren who love the Lord and want to glorify Him.
I'm reminded of the impact of love in bridging relationships within the church. As I navigate both realms, my goal remains steadfast: to serve as a disciple of Christ, deeply committed to building connections and unity among His people.
As I'm learning, love isn't just an action; it's the essence of spiritual vitality. It binds us together, enriches our interactions, and infuses every aspect of our service with genuine meaning. Whether through teaching on unity or publishing resources aimed at strengthening bonds among brethren, my mission is clear: to embody Christ's love in all that I do.
May our commitment to love be the defining characteristic of our spiritual life, shaping not only our relationships but also the very fabric of our brotherhood. For, ultimately, it is love that bridges the gaps, binds us in fellowship, and reflects the heart of our Savior to a watching world.
