Why take vows?
08Nov06Our community decided to take vows last weekend to try and make our commitment to following the way of Jesus more specific and accountable. We want to seek a way of life that we believe moves us closer to becoming like the master. To do this, we feel that it is necessary to create some accountability and solidarity with our community. We hope to accomplish this by taking vows around the seven rhythms we have come up with.
Simplicity Service Prayer Creativity Obedience Community Love
Many people are longing for a more committed and accountable way of life that is consistent with their values and the teaching they receive. The typical model followed by most churches tends to focus primarily on teaching with little or no connection between the doctrine or ideas and how they are integrated into our daily lives.
We long for wholeness and integration. We long for our lives to be lived out in a way that reflects our values.
