Everyone should have a mission statement.
Give me a minute to explain.
Recently, I was able to help someone online with their personal mission statement.
As I said in my Personal Faith Statement, I have been given the responsibility to “guard the good deposit given to me with the help of the Holy Spirit” according to 2 Timothy 1.14. Such a perspective will impact our whole person—our mind, emotions, will, choices, conduct, and affections. The Hebraic-Christian view of the world will be a God-centered window through which we see the world. “The fact is inescapable,” said the famed Frank Gaebelein in The Pattern of God’s Truth,
“The world view of the teacher, insofar as she is effective, gradually conditions the world view of the pupil. No person teaches out of a philosophical vacuum. In one way or another, every teacher expresses the mission she lives by.”
Christians would benefit by creating a personal mission statement.
Thanks for spending this minute with me, Dr. Mark Eckel.
