So I love the base director her name is Marion and she is really cool. Today we got our first assignment and briefing for our classwork. we were all assigned a partner that works on the staff, and a YWAM foundational value. The goal is to put a debate together that proves why we believe our value is the most important. Lucky for me I got the first value; KNOW GOD. I think I've got this in the bag. I have to dress up and share my three minute presentation in front of the whole base. Here are my supporting reasons why Knowing God is the first and most important YWAM value...
Psalm 105; 9
"Give thanks to the Lord call on his name; make known what he has done"
we can't make our God known unless we know him first
James 2; 17
"faith by itself if not accompanied by action is dead"
Yes, we are called to DO, but we can't step out into action unless we have faith/knowledge
Philippians 3; 8
What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of KNOWING Christ Jesus my lord for whose sake I have lost all things, I consider them rubbish that I might gain Christ.
All is worthless without the Knowledge of Him, our good works are nothing without the heart of a servant allowing our Lord to work through us.
If we Know God and continue to further our knowledge all the other amazing YWAM values will come into place. If we know him we want to be hospitable, and hear his voice, and make disciples of all nations. We have to get it so we can give it. We first learn of his great sacrifice before we live it.
Love. Mercy. hope.

i see your love for the lord expanding everyday.xoxoxoxo
Yeah...you got this!
Amen sista. I also like Psalm 46 - v10: Be still and KNOW that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth. If you look at the whole Psalm, it shows how freaking amazing our Father is: our refuge, ever-present help, mountains and seas give way to Him, kingdoms fall and the earth melts at His voice, and yet it all comes down to a simple command: Be still and know that I am God.
PS: Yeah, it says "Uncle Ray" because I usually only post on my niece and nephews cutie pie pics. It's Ray from FBCGV :-)
