The power of partnership (and why we need it!)

“You’re blessed when you can show people how to cooperate instead of compete or fight. That’s when you discover who you really are, and your place in God’s family.”
—Jesus, Matthew 5:9, The Message

It’s no secret that division is running rampant. We’re quick to disagree—often passionately—and divide.

Quotes by Peter Greer (?)

“A [person] ought to live so that everybody knows he is a Christian . . . and most of all, his family ought to know. —D. L. Moody”

“In its simplest form, Mission True organizations know why they exist and protect their core at all costs. They remain faithful to what they believe God has entrusted them to do. They define what is immutable: their values and purposes, their DNA, their heart and soul.”
― Peter Greer, Mission Drift: The Unspoken Crisis Facing Leaders, Charities, and Churches

“If you’re married, recognize you hold a covenant with your spouse, not your work. God ordained the biblical covenant of marriage. He didn’t create one for work. Your first priorities are God, the very center of all we do, and then your family. And then—and only then—your work. The problem is that we confuse our service to God with our vocation, and the two are not synonymous.”
― Peter Greer, The Spiritual Danger of Doing Good
