“It all starts with a Revelation of God’s Love, leading to a Conviction of our great need for Him. This leads us to Confession and Forsaking of our Sins (AKA Repentance), which brings more of Christ’s Compassion (Truth and Direction), fostering us into Connections with Jesus’ People (AKA His Body of Believers) and fulfilled lives together working and resting in Community, as we pursue His Eternal Presence and Soul-cause (AKA The Great Commission).” Denny Beckham. Sidenote: Originally written by me on 11/12/00, as “It all starts with Conviction. Conviction leads to Confession, which brings Compassion and Connection, with the end result being Christ-centered Community and fulfilled lives fulfilling His ‘GREAT Commission’ (not ‘omission’).”
