The Insanity of a Self-Centered Life - ENGAGE #5
In this series, we will study Daniel 1-6. There are many parallels between the situation Daniel faced and our situation today. Like Daniel, we work and live among a great variety of gods--not only those of other formal religions, but also the gods of achievement, independence, knowledge, pleasure, and ideology. In a religiously diverse culture which is at best indifferent and at worst hostile to faith in the one true God, what role should Christ-followers play in society? Rather than isolating ourselves or rejecting our world, we want to ENGAGE our world as people who trust in a powerful God, make positive contributions to society, and bring hope to others. If you've ever wondered how Monday-Saturday were related to Sunday, this series is for you.

What Do You Mean By That?
Enhancing God's reputation by reflecting Jesus in the world through relationships, good works, and worship. That sounds nice...but what does it mean? Why are "good works" a part of that statement - do we "earn" our salvation? What is meant by "relationships," or "worship" for that matter? The Core Values of New Life undergird this Purpose Statement; clarity of what is meant by it is vital.

Aloof or Approachable?
A misconception of many in the world is that God is aloof and does not care about them. Many even (erroneously) think God cannot be in the presence of sin. Through Jesus of Nazareth God showed (once again) that He cares about this world. Jesus was very approachable while on earth and was involved in the lives of people. The question is...will His followers model Him?

Figuring God Out...
Many in the world think they have “figured God out” – they know all about Him. He is mean, uncaring, distant, sadistic, judgmental, a “cosmic kill-joy,” etc. Yet as we have seen over the past two weeks, God is gracious and sovereign. These two aspects set Christianity apart from other world religions. Yet many in the world do not know the extent of God’s love for them. Therefore we (Christians) need to create a problem for those who think they have God all figured out – we need to show them God is personal.

What To Do With Our Doubt
It wasn't until Asaph went to the sanctuary of God, until he was able to gain God's eternal perspective and saw that and see that God is both in control and good and could say: Whom have I in heaven but you? And there is nothing on earth that I desire besides you. My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
