I’ve been working on some ideas for a new ministry project and my studies have been looking at what a fellowship (being a team) looks like… and in the process regularly see news about off the court/field issues between teammates.
Building a true team concept involves some key things… being on the same page philosophically… being committed the good days and the bad… picking one another up when needed… etc.
As I study the idea of fellowship, it is rooted in these same concepts. We see in Scripture that it involves “considering one another”, “stirring up love and good works”, and “exhorting one another” (Hebrews 10:24-25); we see that it involves “restoring” and “bearing one another’s burdens” (Galatians 6:1-2)… yet we also find a very foundational truth to fellowship (being a true team):
1 John 1:7 But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.
In order to truly have fellowship it is required that we “walk in the light.” This is a mandate that we must have the same philosophy… be on the same page… we must be trusting the direction the Coach is giving! “Light” has the idea of truth and its knowledge… of mind and reason. In other words, we cannot truly function as a “team” without an agreement to our foundational truths…
Our “game plan” must be established in God’s truths/philosophies for life! Let’s win in life together…
Proverbs 10:25 When the storm is over, there’s nothing
left of the wicked: good people, firm on their rock foundation, aren’t even
fazed. (The Message)
