Here are determinations that Dean Herring shares to help guide us through life:
Determined to be daily in His Word and before His throne.Determined to put my relationship with The Lord above all other relationships–no matter how close they may be.Determined to never fear the consequences of truth.Determined to always speak the truth in love.Determined to not exaggerate the importance of lesser matters.Determined to the best of my ability to love my wife as Christ loved the church, and to set an example that my children and my grandchildren can follow.Determined to value influence more than opportunities.Determined to be led by the Spirit rather than intimidated by man.Determined that I have nothing to prove; I have Someone to please.Determined that I will not use my Christian liberty as a tool of divisiveness.Determined that I will show love to the lost, mercy to the prodigal, forgiveness to the offender, and grace to fellow believers.Determined to pray for wisdom enough to hear those who lead, and humility enough to listen to those who follow.Determined that my priorities will always be: Jesus, before others, before me.Determined to never lessen the importance of the church that Jesus died for.Determined to live my life as a giver, yet always remain grateful for what I receive.Determined to earnestly seek forgiveness from those that I have wronged, and restoration with those who have wronged me.Determined to be more concerned with being a friend than having a friend.Determined that I will seek to advance His kingdom rather than my own.Determined to not fall prey to hearsay, innuendo, or scuttlebutt, but to be man enough to go to the source.Determined that I will not fall victim to either compliments or criticism.Determined to find the humor in life, lest I become infected by reality.Determined to approach life as a student rather than as a professor.Determined to be a good steward of my health, lest my service suffer from my negligence.I’m a paragraph.
