THE ALLIANCE: Message from Koop about ACC's

A Man's Vow

I promise myself to be so strong that nothing can disturb my peace of mind. To talk health, happiness and prosperity to every person I meet. To make all my friends feel that there is something in them. To look at the sunny side of everything and make my optimism come true. To think only of the best, to work only for the best and expect only the best. To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as I am about my own. To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future. To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature I meet a smile. To give so much time to the improvements of myself that I have no time to criticize others. To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear and too happy to permit the presence of trouble. So help me God.

Message from Koop about ACC's

Fellas,

I love the ACC's that take place on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. It's a time to connect with God and be empowered as men to go out and lead.

I was on the call today for the Seniors.....I know some of you may have thought that I was still on vacation, and even if I were, I would have still made the call, but that's beside the point. The call was great, but I want to make sure that we all understand the purpose of the call.

The call by design is to empower us. It's the pep talk at half-time. It's the statment made before a big game. It's the conversation that you have with your son for the first time about being a man. It's words you use to communicate to your daughter that no matter what happens in life, her daddy will be there for her. That's the impact the phone call should have on each of you. It's not a call of duty, but a call of opportunity. It's an opportunity for you to connect your life, in order to be in touch with it.

If my counting serves me correctly, there were about 10 people on the call today, there should have been at least 17 by my calculations. Let's transition to making RAC happen. Talk to your brothers in The Alliance. If you don't make a call, it should be so gut-wrenching, that you call one of the brothers and ask what you missed.

Speakers for each call need to know that you have 3-5 minutes to speak, no more. If roundtable discussions are being had, you have about 20 seconds to make a comment. This allows everyone to speak. When you are on the call, mute you phone. I heard a lot of noise on the call today. And, just so you know, just like today, I will be on the call and not say anything at all, just to see how you guys will handle my abscence. You did well today. Thank you.

Some of you will be getting phone calls from the AMIT's this week. This is your chance to minister to them. They do have an agenda, so help them out when they call, but also take the time to minister to them when you discern the nugging of the Holy Spirit.

Noth'n but love for you guys,

Leading men, changing lives, bringing strength, impacting people.....Alliance Strong!

Covenant

Today I am walking across the line. I'm tired of drifting away. I will no longer live with indecisiveness. I've made my choice, the ruling is in. I'm going God's way. The decision I have made is irrevocable. There is no turning back. There are no other options. There is a purpose for my life. I know the direction; I have the strength to walk in it. I will not squander my time or energy on superficial living, small minded thinking, frivolous talking, careless doing, useless guilt, spiteful resentment, or faithless concerns. As a replacement, I will magnify God, produce maturity, serve in ministry, and complete my mission in the membership of this family called The Alliance.

Accountability and Strength

II Peter 1: 3-10 3. Jesus has the power of God, by which He has given us everything we need to live and to serve God. We have these things because we know him. Jesus called us by His Glory and goodness. 4. Through these He gave us the very great and precious promises. With these gifts you can share in being like God, and the world will not ruin you with its evil desires. 5. Because you have these blessings, do your best to add these things to your lives: to your faith, add goodness; and to your goodness, add knowledge; 6. And to your knowledge, add self-control; and to your self-control, add patience; and to your patience, add service for God; 7. And to your service for God, add kindness for your brothers and sisters in Christ; and to this kindness, add love. 8. If all these things are in you and are growing, they will help you to be useful and productive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9. But anyone who does not have these things cannot see clearly. He is blind and has forgotten that he was made clean from his past sins. 10. My brothers and sisters, try hard to be certain that you really are called and chosen by God. If you do all these things, you will never fall.
