CHIME

I was sitting in class (College Ministry Director) yesterday, and I came up with an acronym to use in ministry. I call it CHIME. Feel free to use it!

Commitment
Honesty
Integrity
Moral Purity
Edification

Rest

Isn’t it amazing how so few people can just sit down and remain silent for thirty minutes or more? How come so few people can stand their own company without having to have a crutch such as TV, games, telephone, music, computer, books, etc.? Now, there’s nothing wrong with doing these things, but we also need to take time to rest. Jesus said to his disciples, “Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and rest” (Mark 6:31 NIV). I readily admit that I don’t do this nearly enough, but I can definitely see the value in quietly resting alone--just the Lord and me. I cherish those times.
