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.”

Have you heard of EDITH BURNS?

Edith Burns was a wonderful Christian who lived in San Antonio, Texas . She was the patient of a doctor by the name of Will Phillips. Dr. Phillips was a gentle doctor who saw patients as people. His favorite patient was Edith Burns.  One morning he went to his office with a heavy heart and it was because of Edith Burns.  When he walked into that waiting room, there sat Edith with her big black Bible in her lap earnestly talking to a young mother sitting beside her.  Edith Burns had a habit of introducing herself in this way: "Hello, my name is Edith Burns.  Do you believe in Easter?" Then she would explain the meaning of Easter, and many times people would be saved.  Dr. Phillips walked into that office and there he saw the head nurse, Beverly. Beverly had first met Edith when she was taking her blood pressure. Edith began by saying,"My name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?"  Beverly said, "Why yes I do."  Edith said, "Well, what do you ...

wash feet, sharing hope

  John 13:4-5,14 NLT  So he got up from the table, took off his robe, wrapped a towel around his waist, 5 and poured water into a basin. Then he began to wash the disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel he had around him… 14 And since I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other’s feet. Jesus set the example we follow.  He served.  He valued and gave value to others.  That is why we choose to serve. For 18 years our church has shared an outreach called back2school, and for 16 of those years we have chosen to give students brand new shoes and socks as well as washing their feet.  It is one of the most important parts of this event. Washing feet is a humbling experience where both the give and the receiver learn how to share some moments that might change their lives.  Jesus said we should do this.  See the verse above.  Follow His example, do what He did, and give far more than you will ever know....
