Because of the Gospel, we moved from death to life (Jn. 5:24). We must guard against letting our policies pull us away from the fullness of life in Him (Jn. 10:10), back into a lifeless existence of merely going through the motions and not truly living.<\/p>\n<ul style=\"list-style-type: square; padding-left: 30px;\">\n<li>Take time to examine if a policy is truly needed, and if so, how to develop it in a way that promotes life-giving ministry over mere conformity.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>2) Policies must leave room for faith.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Righteousness, or right-living, must not be about us striving on our own to do what He should be doing in us. &#8220;For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed &#8211; a righteousness that is by faith &#8230;&#8221; (Rom. 1:17). We must not let policies box us in and prevent us from trusting in the Lord.<\/p>\n<ul style=\"list-style-type: square; padding-left: 30px;\">\n<li>Take time to prayerfully and carefully word policies so they truly reflect our need for God to be at work in and through us.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>3) Policies must demonstrate compassion and concern for people.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">&#8220;But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.&#8221; (Rom. 5:8) &#8211; Remember, God so loved the world (people) that He sent Jesus (Jn. 3:16). When policies take on a life of their own, we become more concerned about protecting our rules and regulations or our programs and structures, than being compelled by love for people (2 Cor. 5:14).<\/p>\n<ul style=\"list-style-type: square; padding-left: 30px;\">\n<li>Take to time to regularly <a href=\"https:\/\/mintools.com\/blog\/greatest-purpose.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">revisit our primary purpose to love God and love people<\/a> so policies and how they&#8217;re enforced reflect God&#8217;s motivations as seen in the Gospel.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For More on These Topics:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"padding-left: 25px;\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/trainchurchleaders.org\/resources-about-the-gospel\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Resources about the Gospel<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/trainchurchleaders.org\/resources-for-policy-making\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Resources for Policy Making<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>All Posts about Policy Making:<\/h3><ul class=\"lcp_catlist\" id=\"lcp_instance_0\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/trainchurchleaders.com\/practicum\/policy-making-objectives.htm\">Policy Making Objectives<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/trainchurchleaders.com\/practicum\/policy-making-parameters.htm\">Policy Making Parameters<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/trainchurchleaders.com\/practicum\/policy-big-picture.htm\">Policy Making &#038; the Big Picture<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/trainchurchleaders.com\/practicum\/policies-freedom.htm\">Policy Making &#038; Freedom in Christ<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/trainchurchleaders.com\/practicum\/policies-hidden-agendas.htm\">Policies with No Hidden Agendas<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/trainchurchleaders.com\/practicum\/policies-grace-truth.htm\">Policies Reflecting Both Grace &#038; Truth<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/trainchurchleaders.com\/practicum\/policies-next-generation.htm\">Church Policies &#038; the Next Generation<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/trainchurchleaders.com\/practicum\/policies-life-of-own.htm\">Don&#8217;t Let Policies Take on a Life of Their Own<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/trainchurchleaders.com\/practicum\/gifts-determining-policies.htm\">Spiritual Gifts in Determining Policies<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/trainchurchleaders.com\/practicum\/gifts-writing-policies.htm\">Spiritual Gifts for Writing Policies<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/trainchurchleaders.com\/practicum\/gifts-implementing-policies.htm\">Spiritual Gifts Suited for Implementing Policies<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/trainchurchleaders.com\/practicum\/prayer-policies.htm\">Turning to God or to Church Policies?<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/trainchurchleaders.com\/practicum\/god-defender-not-policies.htm\">God&#8217;s Your Defender, Not Your Church Policies<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/trainchurchleaders.com\/practicum\/policies-shaped-gospel.htm\">Policies Shaped by the Gospel<\/a><\/li><li class=\"current\"><a href=\"https:\/\/trainchurchleaders.com\/practicum\/policies-reflecting-the-gospel.htm\">Policies Reflecting the Gospel<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/trainchurchleaders.com\/practicum\/policies-shaped-by-grace.htm\">Policies Shaped by Grace<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/trainchurchleaders.com\/practicum\/policy-making-safeguarded-by-grace.htm\">Policy-Making Safeguarded by Grace<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/trainchurchleaders.com\/practicum\/why-policies-have-gods-word.htm\">Why Policies When We Have God&#8217;s Word?<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/trainchurchleaders.com\/practicum\/power-focus-in-policymaking.htm\">Power to Maintain the Proper Focus in Policymaking<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/trainchurchleaders.com\/practicum\/policies-reflecting-the-resurrection.htm\">Policies Reflecting the Resurrection<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/trainchurchleaders.com\/practicum\/policies-in-name-of-the-lord-jesus.htm\">Church Policies Done in the Name of the Lord Jesus<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/trainchurchleaders.com\/practicum\/leadership-qualities-policy-making.htm\">Leadership Qualities that Positively Affect Policy Making<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/trainchurchleaders.com\/practicum\/biblical-leadership-roles-policy-making.htm\">Biblical Leadership Roles Positively Affect Policy Making<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/trainchurchleaders.com\/practicum\/shepherding-and-policy-making.htm\">Shepherding and Policy Making<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Church policies shaped by the Gospel will reflect the Gospel, exhibiting the power of God, not legalism or bureaucracy that holds us back and boxes us in.
