Unity of purpose

If we are to be really effective in living for God we have to find a unity between our means and our goal. That is to say that we must match up our ultimate purpose with our values. Too often there is schism between where we eventually want to end up and how we percieve we might get there. Either the goal is lovely and the means awful, or the goal is greedy and the means nice and fluffy.

Neither situation is capable of bringing the Kingdom of God in the context of our personal or professional lives. Our goal for everything must be as godly as the means by which we achieve it. This is Kingdom living through and through.
