We talked about core values and core convictions in my ministry mentoring group yesterday. John Hassler came up with some fun variations on our core values that are too good not to share. Here are a few of them:

Expect the unexpected virgin birth
Pray like it depends on Dad and work like a carpenter
Changing water into wine is a chemistry experiment
You can't out fish God
Maturity does not equal wearing the same tunic as me
Go the extra cubit
It's never too late to be a disciple instead of a tax collector

For what it's worth, here are all of our core values:

expect the unexpected
irrelevance is irreverence
love people when they least expect it and least deserve it
playing it safe is risky
everyone is invaluable and irreplaceable
pray like it depends on God and work like it depends on you
maturity does not equal conformity
it’s never too late to be who you might have been
do it right and do it big
everything is an experiment
you can’t outgive God
