IDEALS
Values and Models of Excellence
In our relationship with Christ, we hold Him up as the model of a strong and vibrant relationship with our Father, God. He shines as a way to excellence for each of us. In our relationships with others, ideals help us stay focused on the best God has for us and for each other. Ideals help fill our need to focus on higher things. When ideals are missing, respect for truth suffers, and our lesser nature takes over. A practical application of the seed of Ideals is shown when we govern our choices by our ideals.
"Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right
whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable,
if anything is excellent or praiseworthy - think about such things."
- Philippians 4:8

5 Things Every Leader Should Know About Ideals
|
Growing in Love
This discussion starter has the seed of Ideals as it's theme, with a brief story related to the seed. It is a half sheet (5.5" wide by 8.5" tall) printed on both sides. This can be used as an ongoing reminder of the seed after a complete study of the 12 Seeds book. Distribute any way you wish: as a bulletin insert, study sheet for a class or discussion group, handout when visiting people, etc. There's room at the bottom of the second side to add your own notes. Printing suggestions: Growing in Love comes front and back side-by-side on a full sheet. We recommend printing out on an 8.5" x 11" full sheet, then printing the front and back again on the other side of the paper. Split the sheet in two to yield two double-sided half sheets. |
