Not an end in self

[Richard OFfill]

The founding fathers and mothers of our church were message-driven. As the message spread, organization followed. The church began to open schools and medical institutions. But the organization and the institutions were a means to an end, not an end in themselves.

All these organizations had the same mission--to spread the unique message that God has so graciously seen fit to give for those who would be living in the last days of the earth's history.

May we be faithful to our mission.

[V. Hahn]

Yes, we need to always be aware of our mission.  That should be our main objective always.
