Summary

Part 6 Ethics Chapter 37 The Common Good Section d. The False Philosophies This section describes the great failings of losing this balance of correct ordering of love between: self, others and God. This comes up as the following two ideologies/philosophies which we see commonly in todays society: Individualism: the improvement of self without the need for others. Making the life of virtue a private affair, and increasing ones indifference to others. The solution is love of neighbour. Collectivism: the debasement of the self for the sake of the collective. This removes personal responsibility for virtue and integrity as the collective dictates what goes. The cure for this is the fostering of a free and rich interior life. To sum up the correct philosophy: i) Each person is ordained to God. Therefore by ordering oneself to God, one will naturally assist others by a free and personal choice of their own ii) This helping others in flowing from ones own ordination to God must inherently help others to order themselves to God.

Waypoint Christian Church Clovis NM waypointnm We believe our mission at Waypoint is to make disciples of Jesus Christ. This is the ongoing mission that Christ has given His church throughout the centuries. This mission can be achieved only through Christ’s authority, power, and abiding presence. We desire to be a congregation that walks closely with Jesus and models our fellowship after His character and priorities. We believe there are three vital aspects to making disciples.1 Gospel-Centeredness (Ezek. 36:22-27, 1 Cor. 10:31, Ps. 127:1, John 15:4-11)In everything we do, we want it to be about who Jesus is, what He has done, and what He will continue to do. As His church, it is our joy to bring glory to God by worshiping and proclaiming Jesus. The gospel is our foundation and guiding point.2 Transformational Community (Rom. 12, Col. 3:1-4, Heb. 12:1-3, Eph. 4:1-7, Phil. 2:12)At Waypoint we want to meet people where they are but we do not want to leave them where they are.
