The Conduits came about as one of the founding members of the group was listening to his pastor deliver a sermon when he was first being installed as the lead pastor of the church. The concept of the follower’s of Christ are meant to be a method to funnel His love into the world was part of the message – and it stuck. As we are want to do, there was a lot of real life delays in getting the site going. As HE is want to do, there have been ongoing reminders (in one form or another) that this is something that needs to be done.
The site will (hopefully) never be overly verbose/wordy, with the focus being on getting to the point and sharing the Love of God, through the spreading of confirmation that He gave us the most wonderful Gift through His Son, Jesus Christ, who came to us in human form and died for our sins, freeing us up to receive eternal life.
Some Bible quotes that impacted the creation of The Conduits and provide direction to the group:
1 Peter 5:1-3
“1 So I exhort the elders among you, as a fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, as well as a partaker in the glory that is going to be revealed: 2 shepherd the flock of God that is among you, exercising oversight, not under compulsion, but willingly, as God would have you; not for shameful gain, but eagerly; 3 not domineering over those in your charge, but being examples to the flock.“
Romans 8: 28-30
“28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. 29 For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. 30 And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.”
John 13: 12-15
“12 When he had finished washing their feet, he put on his clothes and returned to his place. “Do you understand what I have done for you?” he asked them. 13 “You call me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord,’ and rightly so, for that is what I am. 14 Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet. 15 I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you.”
