Why Clarity of Mission Is So Important
It’s been four years since George W. Bush landed on an aircraft carrier and declared victory in Iraq in front of a banner that said, “Mission Accomplished.” I guess the lingering question is: “What was/is the mission?”
Spoken word artist Steven Connell has teamed up with Robert Greenwald (Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Prices and Iraq for Sale: The War Profiteers) to produce a video promoting a contest to decide what should go on that infamous banner.
Watch it first:
Now, think about how absurd it is to cling to a mission that is confusing, undoable, or something worse.
SO TELL ME:
What’s your mission?
SO TELL ME SOMETHING ELSE:
Are you living your mission?

Here’s the mission of New Oaks Church (of the Nazarene) in Washington, IA: “Growing relationships with God, self, and others.”
And this is my mission as a preacher: “To experience God during each week, and then to share that with those who care to come along.”
