Service, Entrepreneurship & discipleship
Altruism
Service brings joy and great satisfaction!
Service brings joy and great satisfaction!
If the mind is free and happy with the awareness of doing good and the sense of satisfaction from being an element of happiness for others, it will create a joy that reacts throughout the whole organism, allowing blood to flow more freely and energizing the entire body. Medical Ministry, p. 137.1
Those who deny themselves to do good and dedicate all they have to the service of Christ will experience the happiness that the selfish man seeks in vain. —Sons and Daughters of God, p. 248.4
Discipleship
We must share what we have received out of love for God and our neighbor!
We must share what we have received for love of God and our neighbor!
Christ… Mentioned only one condition for discipleship and service: “Do you love Me?” This is the essential qualification. Lift Him Up, p. 217.3
Christ’s last words to His disciples show the importance of spreading the truth. Just before His ascension, He gave this command: “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” That I May Know Him, p. 105.4
Stewardship
Everything depends on good stewardship!
God’s cause today needs men and women with rare qualifications and sound stewardship abilities; men and women who will thoroughly and patiently research the needs of the work in various fields; those who are highly capable, have warm, kind hearts, calm minds, good judgment, and can judge without prejudice; who are sanctified by the Spirit of God and can boldly say “No,” or “Yes and Amen” to proposed plans; who have strong convictions, clear understanding, and pure hearts full of sympathy; who practice the words: “You are all brothers” (Matthew 23:8); and who seek to uplift and restore fallen humanity. —Gospel Workers, p. 439
Income Generation
As part of man’s integral development and personal need, we promote entrepreneurship. We should seek a healthy way to support the family’s expenses. It is also our privilege to help the most vulnerable, and all this requires resources. Business goes hand in hand with religion. God owns all resources and desires that we develop the art of income generation for the honor and glory of His name.
