Stop Gambling Your Future: Redeem Your Time Today
There will always be distractions in life because we know from scripture that the agenda of the enemy is to steal, kill and destroy.Procrastination is a time stealer, and it simply means to put off intentionally doing something that should be done. I have been guilty of this often, and I have missed many wonderful opportunities, but I have seen the results when I don’t put things off as well. Reading about where we spend our time the last few days has been a real eye opener for me because I realize every day we are gambling away our future with the notion we still have lots of time while being distracted by unimportant things like social media, television, sports, text messages and the list can go on. Today I want to encourage you to look at what you are investing your time in and ask yourself, "What am I putting off intentionally that could hurt my future that I should be doing right now?" Once you have identified it simply decide not to put it off anymore; redeem your time!“For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what shall a man give in return for his soul?”Matthew 16:26 Be Nice. Grace Wins.

More Than Enough
Jesus doesn't need the sharpest tool in the shed. Two fish and five loaves, a shepherd's stick, whatever you've got, is more than enough. The Lord specializes in turning failures into successes.

In the Majority
If God is for us, who can be against us? A jealous God asks for our faithfulness in return, and gives us a friend who sticks closer than a brother. If God is on our side, we're in the majority.
