Integration of Core Values and Biblical Principles: Social Holiness

Seek the Lord and his strength, seek his face continually. (1 Chronicles 16:11)

What does it mean to look to the Lord in every situation?


You honor him when you pray. Christian prayers acknowledge God as omnipresent, caring,
omniscient, and all-powerful. Prayer accepts the posture of humility. Prayer means we accept our
relative smallness; we accept his design of human life, accept his ways accept his wisdom and
plans, and respect the enormous reservoirs of resources at his command. And it means that we
confess our need. 1 Chronicles 16:11 means that it’s not as though he’s clueless to our needs, but
he wants us to articulate them to him, so that when he helps us we will make the connection and
give Him the glory. He wants to hear our words of sorrow over sin so that he can assure us of his
love and steady forgiveness in Christ. He wants us to bring the needs of others to him-not
because he couldn’t figure it out without our help, but because it is such a beautiful exercise of
love and compassion. He loves to respond because we prayed.

Events create opportunities for people to connect with an area, spend time together,
celebrate and experience the diversity of cultures and foster creativity and innovation.
They allow a community to come alive and provide an opportunity for a destination to
showcase its tourism experience and increase economic activity. Events contribute
significantly to community building, lifestyle and leisure enhancement, cultural
development, tourism promotion and increased visitation, volunteer participation,
fundraising and economic development. Most importantly, events create a sense of fun
and vibrancy, resulting in a strong sense of community connectivity, pride and a sense of
place. (See: http://www.uou.ac.in/sites/default/files/slm/HM-402)

one target group. Events are frequently the catalyst for important processes such as personal
expression and social development.
