codelife

The guys at CVM (Christian Vision for Men) have envisioned a rule of life for men that helps them to stay gripped and focussed on living a full-on, uncompromised Jesus-centred life, in company with others. Men are reporting this to be life-changing. See www.codelife.org . The code for life is: 1. Jesus is my Captain, Brother, Rescuer and Friend; 2. I owe everything to Him. I will do anything for Him; 3. I will unashamedly make Him known through my actions and words; 4. I will not cheat in anything, personal or professional; 5. I will look away from the gutter, but be prepared to pull people out of it; 6. I will keep my body fit and free from any addictions; 7. I will put the welfare of those closest to me before my own welfare; 8. I will treat all men and women as brothers and sisters; 9. I will lead as He would lead. I will honour my leaders provided this also honours Him. I will follow Him in company with my sisters and brothers; 10. I will use my strength to protect the weak and stand against the abuse of power; 11. I will protect the world that God has made; 12. If I fail I will not give up. He never gives up on me. So, that's codelife. It's time for a new kind of man... So help us God! (Psalm 12 v.1).

Walk ta11

As we move into the New Year we can walk ta11 in '11. In the message from Alan Murphy at Chase last Sunday we were encouraged not to think of ourselves as being small in our own eyes (1 Samuel 15:17). God's power is bigger than we think! A Nigerian friend sent me this New Year message: To those that I shared 2010 with, to those that shared in my happiness, to those that brought smiles, love and help to my face and heart; to those that lent a helping hand when I was weak, thank you all. To those that I offended, I am DEEPLY SORRY, and to those that offended me, I sincerely forgive! To those that I made promises but never kept, I'll MAKE IT UP, to all my friends who are reading this message, you were an important part of me in 2010. I say GOD BLESS YOU, and thank you for being there for me, come and let's make it greater again in 2011, a very unique year and year of divine Elevation. A year full of ELEVEation and uniqueness. This year you will be uniquely elevated in everything you do, even beyond your own imagination. What a great message to be sent! So, walk ta11 - Happy New Year!!!
