Living (Loving) God

The Vision Statement at Northwest is "Living God, Loving People, Changing Lives."

It is only a statement unless you begin to put it into practice.

Here is how this vision statement works for Northwest. We are going to challenge people to first Love God with all of their being. But what does that mean? Saying you Love God is only a statement unless you put it into practice. So the question is, how do you put into practice "Loving God?"

1 John 5:1-3 says, "Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ born of God, and everyone who loves the Father loves his child as well. This is how we know that we love the children of God: by loving God and carrying out his commands. This is love for God: to obey his commands."

If we are going to practice loving God, we are going to live by his commands and we are going to live for him everyday.

So the question for each of us today is: How are you living out you love for God?
