I like it when people tell me exactly what they expect of me. God is very clear in telling Israel what He wants them to do here in Micah 6:8 - "to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God."

It seems to me that 2 out of 3 of these requirements are externally focused activities. Yet if we examine the emphasis of most churches, it is inward rather than outward. For example, how much of a churches time and money are spent on reaching out with justice and mercy to those outside of the congregation? Churches focus much more inwardly than they think. Hopefully, as we have gone through this series (The Externally Focused Church) you have seen some changes you can make in your life. I know I have seen some areas that need addressing in mine. Take a moment and think through how God would have you to:

1. Act justly

2. Love mercy

3. Walk humblly with Him
