Making Time for God

How are you building the Kingdom today? I don’t think it’s a question we often ask ourselves. If you happen to be one of those deranged souls like myself who obsess over planning and time management, are you scheduling Kingdom moments into your day? If you are more of the “make it up as you go along” crowd, how often does that translate into making something for the Kingdom? If we’re honest, the truth is despite all we know and our best intentions, we are still squeezing God into the margins of our lives. It’s painful to recognize this is not what the life of a disciple should look like.

Are You a Disciple?

In the life of every true follower of Christ, there comes a moment when lip-service faith is no longer good enough. At some point we recognize that the status quo isn’t getting it done. The things we have always been taught begin to ring hollow. We recognize how shallow we have been swimming in the ocean of love that is the spirit of God. This is when we must choose to dive deeper and discover what it means to live life as an authentic follower of Jesus or to continue living in dangerous mediocrity (Revelation 3:16). This is the moment of truth, and our eternity hangs on the decision we make.

Sponsor a Child through Compassion

Sponsoring a child in another country is one of the easiest and most tangible ways we can be the hands and feet of Jesus in our world. As I have stated often, nearly half the world exists on less than $2 a day. That’s three billion people making approximately $730 per year. Can you imagine trying to buy groceries for a year on that kind of salary? How about healthcare, clothing or shelter? Most of the world cannot perceive our riches, and I suggest that we cannot fathom their poverty. We have been entrusted with great wealth in order that we might use it to care for the hungry, the poor, and the sick (Luke 12:48).

The Light of the World

Jesus is Lord,jesus is the light of the world,jesus is light,let your light shine in darkness

There are a lot of great songs that have been written about the light of Jesus. From classic hymns like Phillip Bliss’, “The Light of the World is Jesus” to more modern hits like Charlie Hall’s “Marvelous Light”, the light of Jesus has always brought us comfort as we seek to bask in it. There is something reassuring about light. We get energy from light. So why is it that we can sing about the light of the world, yet in reality the world grows darker every day? As followers of Jesus, what are we missing?

On August 2nd, eighteen year old Kelsey Williams left the comforts of home to serve Christ in Africa (Jinja and Fort Portal, Uganda) for two weeks. This is an extraordinary commitment for anyone, let alone a young woman of her age. Kelsey boldly lives out her passion to serve Jesus. She was kind enough to answer some questions and allow me to share her answers with the readers of this blog.
