Life is Short


         We have no idea when Christ will come back. We have some idea of how long we could live. The reality of it all is our time on earth is short. We have a limited amount of time to live and work. God has given us a task to save souls and live faithfully.

       Save souls. We don’t know when you or I or they will die! So get out there. The day of judgement is undetermined. The day of our death is not known to us. Don’t squander away preciouses time. We let life, sin, pride get in the way. (1 John 2:15-17) Those things drive us. They drive us to get out of bed, get to work, and make money. That’s not how its supposed to be. In the end does it mater how big your house is? Whether you had steak or a PB &J for dinner? What car you drove? Where you worked? How much you accomplished in the worlds eyes? No! In the end it is about weather or not you stayed faithful. (Rev. 2:10) In the end it’s about whether or not you kept His commands (Rev 20:11-15; John 12:48-50). Your works will matter.(Matt. 25:31-46; James 2:14-26) Don’t waste any more time on you.  Liberally spend all your time on God and others!

       Live Faithfully. How hard is that to do? We say it all the time. We preach it to one another. Sometimes, I think, we just loose the true meaning behind it. Paul said “ To live is Christ, to Die is gain.” (Phil. 1:21) That’s what it means to live faitfully. It Is no longer you who lives, but Christ lives in you! The life you now live in the flesh is lived by faith in the Son of God! (Gal. 2:20) Faith is the substance of  our hope of eternal salvation and the evidence of God’s word that is not yet seen.  (Heb. 11:1) Live free, not to keep sinning. Live free, freely bound to Christ. What a blessing it is to be called children of God! (1 John 3:1) Serve God. Love God. Be in joy because of God. Keep His commands. Why? Because He saved you by His Son’s blood. He freed you from death! (James. 1:13-15; John 8:21-24) He gave you life! (John 4:13-14, 14:6; Heb. 5:8-9)

       Don’t waste your life on this world that is here today and gone tomorrow! (1 John 2:17) Live your life seeking to save souls and obey God. There is freedom in it! There is true life in such a way of living. Be a good steward of the life and time God has given us. Don’t squander it on the very thing you have been freed from.
Life is Short!

My Thoughts

Think on what is lovely. Let God direct your mind to what is truly lovely in this world. At the very least that tree, flower, and blade of grass that He made and you saw today is lovely. Let Him influence your thoughts every day until you think on what God considers lovely. Then dwell on those things. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom. (Col. 3:16) There will be an overflow of lovely thoughts pour from your mind. Think about how encouraging to others that would be. Think lovely thoughts.

The Quiet Work

“For even the Son of man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many” (Mark 10:45).      We often think that to do big things; then earth-shattering events need to be taking place around us. The Good Samaritan did a big thing, and there was not even a mention of an earthquake. Sometimes the road to success and greatness is filled with little things done right. It’s a road where every brick was placed with care, love, and service. We pursue excellence in everything that we do. We want to be great in the kingdom of God. Everyone does. Jesus says to achieve this we need to be a servant. A servant is a quiet, hardworking, and devoted person. They don’t make waves in the ocean. However, they make constant ripples in the pond. The reason for this being as servants of God, we serve everyone, everywhere, every time. That means we quietly serve everyone, even the unserviceable, undeserving, uncaring, and undesirable. No, it doesn’t bring down buildings and ch

It's A Location Problem

       Two men were walking down a street on opposite sides. It began to rain. It only rained on one side of the road. At the next crosswalk, the man who had walked in the rain looked at the other and said, "How are you dry?" he replied with this one word, "Location." We need to understand that location plays a huge role in a lot of things in our lives. Everything from our character to our mental stability is effect by our location. It would make complete sense that where our heart was located would determine how we live. Our treasure is where our heart is. Meaning that what you will live for, work for, die for, and yearn for whatever our heart is set on. As Christians, our hearts should be in God. If it is, the perfect law of liberty becomes the greatest blessing in the world. It turns from a daunting list of dos and don'ts to a beautiful guide to greatness. It's all about where your heart is. Then that leaves us with this question, "Where is your he
