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.

"I Don't Wana Go" :(

Christianity is much more than just Sunday morning. In fact it’s an everyday focus, "pick up your cross daily" Christ said ( Luke 9:23 ).  Because of that everyday race running the assembling of the saints should be what we look forward to ( Heb. 12:1-2, 10:25 ). It's the one place we can be around those we are in fellowship with that are seeking to achieve the same goal, Heaven. A place to be rejuvenated, to mature, and to worship God. A reason why you should be seeking such assembling's of the saints and excited to be a part of it is that there is nothing else like it. You were made one of them when you were immersed into Christ. You live every day without that group at your side. So a few days a week you get to be around the saints ( Eph. 2:19, 2 Cor. 13:13 ). Who see the world the way you do ( Romans 12:2; James 4:4 ). Who live in the world the way you do ( Matt. 5:13-16 ). Who desire to be like Christ like you do ( Phil. 2:5; 1 John 2:6 ). Most importantly ...

Your Structure

“But  I  discipline  my  body and bring it into subjection, lest, when  I  have preached to others,  I myself  should become disqualified” (1 Corinthians 9:27). It would be best if you worked on creating in your mind mental structures for success. A study was done where  two basketball teams had to shoot free throws. One group went out and shot 100 free throws with something life 30% accuracy. The second group had sat for 30 minutes and visualized making a perfect free throw 100 times. That team went out and shot 100 free throws with 75% accuracy. What is the difference? The mental structure. You can do the same. Paul said, “I discipline my body, I seek to please God.” Just like Paul, we must get in our heads what we will do to be successful in Christ. Work to create Godly mental structures.                          ...
