The Standard of Value - by Raydon Haskins

This week our Chi Alpha visited Riverside church in Atlanta. Big shout out to Pastor Dale Stephens and Pastor Tim McNeeley and that crew. God is doing a good work through that ministry down there. During a morning devotional, we learned about the value we put on things. Pastor Dale asked us the question, “How can you help raise someone's value so that their identity will rise in value as well?

In our fight for kingdom diversity, we must be willing to put value on kingdom diversity.  As we take a look at our leadership and our campus groups, does it reflect kingdom diversity? If it does not, what is it we must do to help our groups become more like the Kingdom of God? When we put value on Kingdom diversity, we will do whatever it takes. No matter the cost, no matter the comfort lost, we will make it happen.

The questions we must ask ourselves to do this is:
  1. What people group on campus are we not valuing through the eyes of Jesus?
  2. What has to happen in me so that I can value this group of people the way Jesus loves them?
  3. How am I going to practically value this group of people?

As we do this, we will be fulfilling the Law of Christ; Love your neighbor as yourself. Let us set the standard of valuing every nation, tribe and tongue on our campus.

    Our purpose is to help the church be an accurate representation of Christ's people to the campus in its: sacred creation (Acts17:26),
    diverse ethnic makeup (Rev. 7:9), supernatural oneness (Gal. 3:28), Jesus-centered unity(John 17:21), kingdom-ethic witness (Mt. 5:1-15, Luke 4:18-19) and reconciliation ministry(2 Cor. 5: 16-21, Eph. 2:14-22).

    We do this through: 
    1. Mobilizing the unsent* 
    2. Equipping through training and resourcing 
    3. Helping plant campus ministries at HBCU's** 
    4. Building cross-cultural bridges between believers & congregations 


    *Unsent refers to ethnic minorities traditionally under-represented in missions
    **Historically Black College and Universities
