what is most important

What is most important to you?

Work hard to make sure what is most important really is what we focus on. It is far too easy to live aimlessly or in a meaningless way rather than living out of our God given passion.

What has God has put in your heart for you to accomplish? We should know that answer. Go that direction!

1 Corinthians 9:22-23 NASB

To the weak I became weak, that I might gain the weak; I have become all things to all people, so that I may by all means save some. 23 I do all things for the sake of the gospel, so that I may become a fellow partaker of it.

I first shared those verses atThe Community Fellowship almost 20 years ago. It was that call that led us to focus on those who are hungry, hurting and homeless so that we can win some to Christ.

Use your life, your time and resources for what is most important. What is keeping you from living for God’s glory?

Debt keeps us away from pursuing our dreams.

Sin keeps us from focusing on what matters most.

Selfishness keeps us doing things our way instead of God’s way.

May we be do everything God’s way, fulfill his purpose and help others. As you do that see how good God is and how He keeps on working to win people to Himself.

There is more to this life than wasting time.

There is a reason to live with purpose.

There is an enemy working hard to keep us from best things, God things, and His call on our lives.

To fight from meaninglessness make sure you set this path … Seek God. Follow Him. Pursue His dreams. Watch God do what He does best.

Isaiah 55:6 NASB

Seek the Lord while He may be found; Call upon Him while He is near.

Luke 4:43 NASB

But He said to them, “I must also preach the kingdom of God to the other cities, because I was sent for this purpose.”

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...
