Ps I think you guys are amazing and your work speaks volumes. I like how each wedding you capture feels different & it captures the essence of the couples. Ps. you made our day experience worth every penny. That said….
Have you considered that as services providers you have a key role to play in this decision from the onset? For example why would you provide package details and mention the kind of equipment & quantity needed.
As a the couple our interest is creating beautiful memories, having a great experience working with you and obviously cost so show me the value I get from working with you vs the size of the your team and equipment.
The moment you give me an option to choose, I will think of cost cutting regardless of the result I desire. Never mind that I may be paying an arm and a leg for the shoes I will wear for only a few hours.
So I dare say it helps to communicate the benefit and value in simple terms so couple’s don’t have to nit pick the price tag!
During the London Summer Word Camp Apostle Grace Lubega teaching on new creation realities emphasised that our message goes beyond justification by faith to regeneration by the Holy Spirit.
This makes us understand that Christ's work was beyond forgiving the sinner to the recreation of man in Christ as a new creature.
When your concept of grace ends at justification and forgiveness, you are left wondering what the Romans said, which is, "Can we therefore continue in sin that grace may abound?"
This is because the work of regeneration wasn't emphasised. That you are now a new creature who is the seed of God who doesn't sin. He possesses the same DNA as God. As Christ is, so are we in the world. Jesus would definitely not be asking, "Can I continue in sin?" How would him who knew no sin say that?
What is required now is the right emphasis that by the feeding of that new man and through spiritual exercise for growth and development, such a person comes into his own.
When you leave people at the place of sins forgiven, you have taught mercy, not grace. Grace is the enablement in man by the Spirit to live out every command and instruction of God.
When grace is at work, what was deposited by God within at the new birth becomes visible unto all to see. The glory is manifest in flesh.
This is why Paul could boldly say that when they saw the grace given unto me......the effectual working of God in me, they gave me the right hand of fellowship.
Grace is the power of God at work in a man, causing him to even exceed the expectations he has placed on himself.
