7 signs

 


7 signs.  I am not talking about 7 signs of end times.  I am not talked about the 7 signs you saw on the side of the road.  I am also not talking about the 7 signs of getting older (although I might can share a few).  I am not talked about the top 7 signs of having the greatest team of all time.


I am talking about 7 signs God gives us every week that we should be aware of.


Ephesians 5:16  NLT  

Make the most of every opportunity in these evil days.


We are given 7 days each week.  I suggest to us that they are signs.  Each day is a gift, and we have a choice in how we use it.  We can waste it.  We can make the most of it like the verse says.


Some people live for the weekend.  You might say your favorite day of the week is Friday or Sunday or whatever, but do we use each and every day to its fullest?


Here are the signs.  God gives us life.  God gives us opportunities.  Use your days in a way that glorifies God.


Rest in a way that gives God glory.  He told us to rest.


Work in a way that gives God glory.  He tells us to work.


Make sure your relationships, conversations, spending, sharing, worshipping and all you do gives God glory.


1 Corinthians 10:31  NLT   

So whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God. 


Here is the your sign.  Use this day, and every day, in the way that makes the most of it.  Why?  Because we are blessed with days, blessed with life, and we don’t know what tomorrow brings. 


Psalm 90:12  NLT  

Teach us to realize the brevity of life, so that we may grow in wisdom.

Francis Chan's "Forgotten God" (brand new book)

One of the most powerful preachers, writers and leaders of our time, in my opinion, is Francis Chan.  His first book, Crazy Love , revolutionized my thoughts about God's love as well as my interacting with God.  Now it is time for a brand new book from Chan being released tomorrow, September 1st.  The book is Forgotten God .   This is a phenomenal book about the power that Christians and the church can and must tap into.  All of it is within the Holy Spirit.  Francis talks about the power that was seen in the book of Acts when the Holy Spirit began to move among people.  It is true that many have avoided or maybe forgotten what the Holy Spirit is all about.   And like the Savior who poured out His life and blood so we have reason to rejoice, we were made to lay down our lives and give until it hurts.  We are most alive when we are loving and actively giving of ourselves because we were made to do these things.  It is when we live like this that the Spirit of God moves and ac...

inspiration from C.S. Lewis

There are many people, past and present, who get our attention by what they write or say or share.  For me C.S. Lewis is one of those.  He was a prolific writer who continues to grab the attention of thinkers from many different points of view. Lewis first grabbed my attention when I was in 5 th grader, and our teacher, Mrs. Foy, shared The Chronicles of Narnia with our class.  It was a powerful time that this dreamer opened doors to thinking like I had never lived before.  He wrote of faith, of far off places and of strong figures who found their character rooted deep in God. C.S. Lewis was born in 1898 and died in 1963, 7 years before I was born.  It wasn’t until his 30’s that under the influence of his friend Tolkien that he came to be a Christian.  He was raised in a traditional church going home, turned away from God as an Atheist in his teen years and through trying to stay away from God and faith returned to God with...
