I obviously didn't blog yesterday... I just wanted a chill day...
School is going fine. Shakes are going fine. House is fine. Kids are fine. Not much to say today...
Thoughts on today:
PURPOSE DRIVEN LIFE
You were made for a mission.
Your ministry is your service to believers, and your mission is your service to unbelievers.
We are the messengers of God's love and purposes to the world.
If you are a part of God's family, your mission is mandatory. To ignore it would be disobedience.
You may have been unaware that God holds you responsible for the unbelievers who live around you.
Your mission is a wonderful privilege.
Your mission involves two great privileges: working with God and representing him.
Telling others how they can have eternal life is the greatest thing you can do for them.
We have the greatest news in the world, and sharing it is the greatest kindness you can show to anyone.
Your mission has eternal significance.
Nothing else you do will ever matter as much as helping people establish an eternal relationship with God. God wants you share the Good News where you are.
Your mission gives your life meaning.
If you fail to fulfill your God-given mission on earth, you will have wasted the life God gave you.
God's timetable for history's conclusion is connected to the completion of our commission. If you want Jesus to come back sooner, focus on fulfilling your mission, not figuring out prophecy.
If you will commit to fulfilling your mission in life no matter what it costs, you will experience the blessing of God in ways few people ever experience.
God has given you a life message to share.
Testimony: Your personal testimony is more effective than a sermon, because unbelievers see pastors as professional salesmen, but you as a "satisfied customer," so they give you more credibility.
Life lessons: While it is wise to learn from experience, it is wiser to learn from the experience of others.
Godly passion: As you grow closer to God, he will give you a passion for something he cares about deeply so you can be a spokesman for him in the world.
Good News: The Good News is that when we trust God's grace to save us through what Jesus did, our sins are forgiven, we get a purpose for living, and we are promised a future home in heaven.
