Positively Better!

Some people think of "better" as an indication that something is wrong, either recognizing imperfections or simply comparing superior and inferior things. However, that is never the intent of The Better Ministry! Our only focus is on how we can move forward together, and when it comes to Christianity, that always includes the Holy Spirit leading the way.

In a universal sense, "positive" recognizes a charge that is benign until it's connected to something with a negative charge. It’s the connection with that negative charge that sparks energy, but there are two forces at play, and "better" is always focused on the positive one. The Gospel is always focused on the positive, even when it's spark comes from the consequences of sin, which are negative. It's the 'good news' that points to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ!

The same is true for The Better Ministry, whose sole focus is recognizing and pursuing what is positive, not negative. While negativity can spark energy, the primary focus is on how to move forward, not backward. In a metaphorical sense, forgiveness is more about repentance than confessing sins, and when we get stuck on the sin, we lose sight of the primary focus which is right living with God. There’s no perfect church, and there’s no perfect Christian. We can either negatively focus on our imperfections, or seek the will of the Holy Spirit to move forward from God’s perspective, not our limited sinful perspective.

So, as you think about The Better Ministry, recognize that it is always positively focused, led by the Holy Spirit, and sparked by the hunger and thirst to glorify and enjoy God in everything we do! Scripture provides our foundation, the Holy Spirit provides our inspiration, and the church enables us to do everything together in Christ.
