In every mission, we must do what is necessary to accomplish it. Not everything that feels urgent is truly an assignment. With so many competing voices, we must remain focused on our priorities and protect the mission God has given us.

Each of us plays a different role, yet we are all part of one greater mission. No role is more important than another—true victory comes when we all succeed together. Though we are unique with different expressions and responsibilities, we must each ask: How am I faithfully carrying out my part of the mission?

Many of us are easily distracted by lesser things, but God is calling us back to a place of focus and clarity. Our mission begins with loving God wholeheartedly—heart, soul, and mind—and loving our neighbors as ourselves. Through Christ, we are empowered to fulfill this mission.

We must remain purposeful. There are people waiting on us to fulfill what God has called us to do. We cannot afford to lose sight of the mission. To stay aligned, we must recognize and avoid mission killers.
