By name and by nature…
We wanted a name that simultaneously provoked believers to an energetic devotion to God, whilst also providing an easy point of reference for non-believers, i.e. becoming a Christian is about putting God first in your life. It is also theologically accurate: the first commandment is that nothing else should come before God in our lives (Ex 20v3) and Jesus said ‘seek God first’ (Mt 6v33). Here is a great quote from Oswald Smith in his book ‘A Man God Uses’
"Does God come first in my life or does business hold the supreme place? Is it God first or pleasure? God first or money? What about my family, my loved ones? Do they come first or does God? What then are the terms of discipleship? Let me give the answer in just two words: God first. And if I could, I would put them on a banner in the sight every congregation in the world - GOD FIRST."
