Waiting for Your Moment

by

Why wait,your time is now,what are you waiting for

One day, something will happen that will change your life. Out of the blue, everything will suddenly fall into place and make your entire existence make sense in an instant. Someday, someone will emerge from the shadows and sweep you away to a life of which you have only dreamed. You know that moment will come, so you sit and wait, confident in your assumption that something great will happen to you. But what if it doesn’t? What if all your waiting is just, well, waiting? Do you want to spend all your life waiting for your moment to arrive, or would you rather create untold moments by acting in the here and now?

Much is Expected

by

Jesus is Lord,Lord of your life,Jesus first,God first

One of my favorite verses in the Bible is Luke 12:48, which says, “Much will be required of everyone who has been given much. And even more will be expected of the one who has been entrusted with more.” I feel like I have been given much, and perhaps even more than that. Chances are you are in the same boat as I am. I’ve referenced the site before, but in case you are a new reader, check out the Global Rich List web site. Simply type in your income to see where you rank among the rest of the world. My guess is you will see that you have indeed been given much.

Running Out of Time

I write a lot on this topic, but from what I see in my own life and the lives of the Church at large, we’re simply not getting it. We are running out of time. Every moment we spend engaged in doing something other than for the Kingdom is a moment forever lost. It’s a moment that might just cost someone their eternal salvation. While we are content to watch the latest movie, surf the web, check Facebook, or feed our faces, time is ticking off the clock forever.

Make a Difference

purposeful,care for others,make an impact,leave a legacy

The problems of our world are so many and diverse that it may appear that there isn’t much we can do about them. On the surface, this may be true; it is very difficult, if not impossible, for any one of us to make a significant impact on the major ills of society. You have, however, probably heard the saying “As one person you can’t change the world, but you can change the world for one person”. This is where we have to focus. On our own we may never make a dent in world poverty, but we can adopt a person or a family and make certain they have enough to eat. On our own we may never be able to give shelter to all who are homeless, but we have the ability to provide a bed and shower to a single mom down on her luck.

Can You Really Follow Jesus?

I will make the assumption that if you are reading this blog you have a desire to follow Jesus. I wonder how many of us are willing to take that desire to the next level of actually pursuing Him, of walking in His footsteps. In the book of Matthew, the author records several stories of people who came to Jesus declaring their willingness to follow Him, yet turned back when Jesus revealed what the cost would be (Luke 9:57-62). Tomorrow we recognize the crucifixion of our Lord, so it seemed good to asses our willingness to follow in memory of His sacrifice for us.
