Weigh in for the Great Commission Make a change for yourself and
the world Slide 2 1. God wants His people to greatly influence the
culture of their world. That is why He placed His people in the
land of Israel and wanted them to occupy the city of Gezer, which
was an international crossroads. Likewise, God wants you and me-His
followers today-to live at the crossroads of life. He wants us to
live so publicly that we become a "flavoring influence" on our
culture. Rather than isolating ourselves from the world, God wants
us to actively participate in and control areas that shape our
culture and the world as a whole. Ray Vander Laan from Faith
Lessons from the Promised Land Weigh in for the Great Commission
Slide 3 2. Israel failed to conquer the Gezers of their world and
as a result failed in their mission to be God's witnesses to the
world. We also fail in our mission as God's witnesses to the world
when we don't take control and exert a godly influence on that
which is significant in our culture. Ray Vander Laan from Faith
Lessons from the Promised Land Weigh in for the Great Commission
Slide 4 3. Just as the people of ancient Israel erected "standing
stones" to commemorate God's supernatural actions on their behalf
(such as when He gave them the Ten Commandments), God wants each of
us to be a massebah- a living, standing stone. In 1 Peter 2:4-5, we
learn that we, "like living stones are being built into a spiritual
house." Each of us is like a piece of stone that God is shaping and
cutting in order to build His house-His world, His kingdom, His
church. He wants us to exhibit Him to a watching world. As we live
godly lives, non-Christians will see our good deeds and be drawn
toward God-just as the people in ancient times were reminded about
what God had done for them when they saw standing stones. Ray
Vander Laan from Faith Lessons from the Promised Land Weigh in for
the Great Commission Slide 5 Romans 12:1-2 Therefore, I urge you,
brothers, in view of Gods mercy, to offer your bodies as living
sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God-this is your spiritual act of
worship. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world,
but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Slide 6 People
will notice the change you make when you start eating, moving, and
thinking the way God intended. And will ask you how you are doing
it. Slide 7 Let Me Tell You How Great My God is: I lost 30 pounds
and got off blood pressure medication, ran a mini-marathon, went on
mission trip.etc. Do you want to pray about your problem and you
could join my small group or visit my church there are a lot more
people who have overcome problems by Connecting to God As you get
healthy take advantage of a witnessing opportunity Be a Standing
Stone! When someone ask how you are getting in better shape. Take
advantage of the opportunity to tell them: Slide 8 Weigh in for the
Great Commission Challenge One Connect to God by not conforming to
the world who lives in a health care crisis and start living a
preventable/wellness lifestyle the way God intended. Witness about
how great God is to a hurting world about your health progress. Be

Checklist/Cheat Sheet to a Mission Trip. Slide 11 Copyright In the
United States We have what is called a health care crisis.
Cardiovascular disease is the number one killer in the country
accounting for nearly 1 million deaths annually (National Vital
Statistic Report) a very preventable LIFESTYLE disease. So are the
other top killers! Many times, the treatment for the disease is
more dangerous than the disease itself. (Vioxx caused as many as
60,000 deaths - David Graham, M.D. of the FDA) Over 100,000 people
die every year as a result of these safe and properly prescribed
prescription drugs. (JAMA) 180,000 people have died every year as a
result of iatrogenic injury. (JAMA) #3 killer in the U.S. every
year. Marcia Angel (NEJM) reports this number could be as high as
783,936 yearly deaths due to medical care - #1 killer in the U.S.
Slide 12 Copyright The Economics of Illness The crisis is not just
the fact that we are sicker as a culture; we also pay the price
financially. The U.S. spends over $2.4 trillion per year on sick
care thats over $6,500 for every man, woman, and child. In 1960
this amount was just $35 per person. Over 50% of all personal
bankruptcies are a result of health related problems. Despite this
soaring investment, the U.S. ranks just 37 th in the world in its
health system performance according to the W.H.O. (World Health
Organization) Slide 13 Purpose Driven Life Purpose #1: You Were
Planned for God's Pleasure (Worship) Purpose #2: You Were Formed
for God's Family (Fellowship) Purpose #3: You Were Created to
Become Like Christ (Discipleship) Purpose #4: You Were Shaped for
Serving God (Ministry) Purpose #5: You Were Made for a Mission
(Mission) Are you in good enough shape to make it to church worship
and to participate? Can you make it to a fellowship event or be in
charge of one? Could you walk a mile in Jesus footsteps? Do you
have enough time and money after taking care of yourself to give to
church? Can you tithe 10% or is your money going to pay for sick
care? Could you go on a mission trip? Or help out for several hours
at a mission event for the community? Yes!!! I can do all things
through Christ! Slide 14 The world will let you down. But, God is
your Father and He is there waiting for you. He is waiting to have
a relationship with you and help you overcome the world. He has
already conquered the world. John 20:19-23 My personal story: When
I was ending my freshmen year in college I was on a bike with my
feet strapped in when a TARC (city bus) hit me. The accident ripped
everything from my knees to my hips and injuring my lower back.
Nothing was broken but severe tissue damage made me bed bound for
months on medications. After failed therapy and surgery in the
future I went to a Chiropractor who allowed me to walk again and
function without drugs and surgery. My mother is the one who forced
me to go to the chiropractor. I could have been bound to
medications and life of disability but because of someone caring
and through the power of chiropractic adjustment releasing the
healing mechanism in my body I was able to get healthy again. Now I
am helping others by being a chiropractor, health coach, and short
term missionary. Please take the Weigh in to the Great Commission
challenge 2 seriously and be a Standing Stone. Slide 15 1 SICKNESS
