This past Sabbath was World Adventurer Day! While for many of us it's been years since we were in Adventurers, or perhaps never at all, there's much we can learn from the standards that Adventurers are taught to uphold. So here are the ten qualities to be like Adventurers:
1. Be obedient
Live with integrity under authority, whether that’s God, the law or the commitments you’ve made.
2. Be pure
Be intentional about what you consume physically, mentally and digitally.
3. Be true
Be honest, even when it complicates things.
4. Be kind
In a culture quick to criticise, be someone who builds people up, choosing generosity over indifference.
5. Be respectful
Treat people well, especially when you disagree.
6. Be attentive
Be present. Put the phone down. Listen properly to people and to the quiet nudges of God.
7. Be helpful
Notice what needs doing and step in.
8. Be cheerful
Choose thankfulness over living in a state of frustration and negativity.
9. Be thoughtful
Slow down enough to consider how your words and actions land.
10. Be reverent
Make space to listen to God, worship and take your faith seriously in the middle of everyday life.
