Are You Committed?
The meaning of committed is the state of being fully dedicated to a cause, activity, relationship, etc. Being committed infers there is an obligation that restricts freedom of action. As an example - a marriage is a union between a man and woman that requires a commitment to be faithful to and love one another. Once married you are no longer free to date whoever.
I Kings 8:61 state:” “May your hearts be fully committed to the Lord our God, to live by His decrees and obey His commands, as at this time.”
So let’s look at this as it relates to you being a leader with MCHA. As a Christian led organization …you agreed with our mission which is: “We exist to share the love of Christ through camaraderie and a great hockey experience.” Not to be naïve, just because you agreed with the mission when you signed on to lead, does not necessarily mean you are actively helping (committed) to fulfill the mission as a leader. As we chart a new course with the Stars your commitment to the mission is what will make this a premier league …making a real (eternal) difference in player's lives! Let’s be real …if claiming a trophy at the end of an adult recreational hockey season is the mission …its not going to make a lasting difference in anyone’s life.
Make no mistake: you are either committed to the mission or you are not. Anything less than 100% commitment to our mission is not good enough. Why not? You ask… Well, let me ask you - would you want a refrigerator that operated at less than 100%? NOPE, not good enough! If you are not fully committed to the mission of MCHA, what will it take for you to become fully committed? If you are fully committed to the mission how will you inspire your fellow leaders to join you? Think about it!
