Thinking Big About Relationships

Written by Paul Dean

Wednesday, 16 July 2008

We take so many things at face value and fail to think deeply about them. In so
doing, we miss not only the big picture as believers in Christ, but we miss
God’s purpose and thereby we miss being part of His kingdom building enterprise.
Of course, that should not be.

What a privilege to be part of God’s kingdom and co-laborers with Him. The
reality is that we are building someone’s kingdom all of the time whether we
realize it or not: either ours or God’s. Even things we consider to be mundane
are not mundane when seen in this light. That dynamic is true in every area of
our lives, including that of relationships. Relationships are not merely surface
associations we have with others. They are not something we decide we like or
don’t like in one sense. The truth is that God has created us to be in
relationship with Him and with others. The issue is how to see all of our
relationships as God sees them, how to make them better, how to glorify God in
them, and how to impact this culture through those relationships.

Part of being effective in this regard is getting hold of the big picture about
relationships. On today’s edition of “Calling for Truth,” that’s exactly what
we’ll talk about with our special guest Jeff Jowers, Minister of Youth and
Family at Mt. Moriah Baptist Church in Powdersville, SC.
