I believe a rising sea level. No it's not climate change. It's God's Work in the marketplace. The idea of a world where people know their Core Purpose and live life intentionally is becoming more and more real to me. As I help people to understand their Core Purpose and as they internalize it, I notice that people begin to think more creatively and effectively and stay focused within the boundaries that cause that effectiveness. I see organizations identifying an authentic Core Purpose and values. I see a movement in government to make government more effective, I see people gathering around the idea of effective enterprise in business, education, government, media\arts, etc, and pursuing this effectiveness with a Holy attitude. The challenge for us all is to pursue this effectiveness with humility, that is, a true knowledge of where our success comes from. (Deut 8.) Humility is the only answer to the idolatry that accompanies nearly all success.
Effectiveness is true excellence. You and I are not asked by God to be perfect in the sense of without flaw or error. Were that true, forgiveness would not be central part of the Christian faith. No, we are asked to become complete- as intended- fully ourselves, just as God is fully himself. This is what is meant when the Bible says be perfect, as He is perfect. The word means fully who you are intended to be. God is this, and we are asked to become are tiny limited version of the same. Tom learn our Core Purpose, - to learn it and fully bring it to the world, to develop and use the gifts of the Spirit, and to fully develop the fruit of the Spirit in our lives. When these three are in place, we become, over time, more fully ourselves.
So as people become all they are intended to become, the sea level will begin to rise. I can feel it, I can hear God and see God moving- You can help us to move forward with Core Purpose and bring it to the world-
