The Simple Life

Our lives are filled with choices.

Choices between things that are really important and those things that only may appear important.

Here's the catch.

The world will announce loud and long that the things that are really important [building the Kingdom of Christ] are only for the 'duhs' of this life.

Oh, but the things that are not really important? these are the things that Satan and world spend extra time making them 'seem' really important.

The result?

Relationships lag
marriages fail
children grow up in daycares
pockets grow full and hearts grow empty
everyone carries around a cell phone because they are sooo busy... but no-one has time for anyone else...face to face.
the church is left to slowly fall apart [but she won't because the Lord is still in the business of building her].

Its not too late...re-evaluate your choices...are they good or not.

If their not then don't cry over your coffee about it, confess your sins to God, and ask Him to give you the wisdom to make the right decisions in life...even if it means the world thinks your an idiot and your bank accound dwindles.

When you do thing out of a love for Christ and a love for your neighbor, others may think you are some fool doing something for nothing...but Jesus says you are investing in a Kingdom that will never end...depositing in a bank account that will never be stolen from.

As missionary Jim Elliot once said "He is no fool who gives what he cannot not keep to gain what he cannot lose."
