Today we had a Bible study on the subject Learning To Live And Lead From The Front

'The Importance Of Living Mission-Focused Not Activity-Filled'


We briefly went through thel ast Bible studies that we had in the past
and then went on with today's study.


Introduction
There is no greater joy than living by faith and maximising the impact of our lives. One of our great challenges is to be able to honor God in all that we do and say so that we can live to the 'praise of His glory'!

We are constantly challenged to move from good to great and from doing our best to being our best. To accomplish this we will need to shift the manner of our living to being 'mission-focused' rather than 'activity-filled'.

In this study we are going to investigate and discuss three significant passages of scripture that clearly emphasize the importance of this kind of living.

'The Importance Of Living Mission-Focused Not Activity-Filled'

1) In Ephesians 5:15 we are wisely reminded, 'Be very careful how you live - not as unwise but as wise'. In the context (vs 8-17) what are the things that we are to be doing as a part of our mission?

2) In Colossians 4:5 we are wisely reminded, 'Be wise in the way you act toward others; make the most of every opportunity'. In the context what are we to be doing as a part of our mission?

3) In 1 Timothy 4:16 we are wisely reminded, 'Watch your life & doctrine closely. Persevere in them because if you do you will save yourself and your hearers'. In the context of this chapter what are the things that we are to be doing as a part of our mission?



Conclusion
Learning to live and lead from the front will indeed require us to understand the importance of living mission-focused not activity-filled lives! Let's determine to make this shift and satisfy the mandate we have been given!


It was great to see every one participate and the discussions went on forever it felt like.
Great testimonies and a great day over all

Special thanks to Pastor Terry!

Debate

A year ago I saw a debate on tv between one Christian British mathematician and philosopher of science named John Lennox and an evolutionary biologist named Richard Dawkins. The two seams to know each other very well and even if they sometimes really disagree on God's existanse they seem to have a rather good relationship. It is a bit pointless to have these debate since none of them want to change their oppinion no matter how wrong or right they might be. As a follower of Christ I support Mr Lennox but I have respects towards mr Dawkins. What stroke me the other day when my wife and I were at the bookstore was the many books written by Richard Dawkins where he really tries hard to convince us that there is no God. If you are absolutely confident that there is no God, why on earth do you have to write all these books!? If people don't believe there is God, why go so hard? You don't believe in Him yet you hate Him. Psalm 14:1 The fool says in his heart, “There...

Advent?

I've just now seen a debate program on Swedish TV, were they talked about should or should not when it comes to schools celebrating advent in churches. Some are against it some are for it. One of the guys against it said "it is not good, the children should not be forced to do this against their will. It is something they should do on their free time" "We are living in a secular society!" I agree with the priest that said" we have a secular government., We don't have a secular society since we are the society and I and many others are Christian believers." Very true. The society is US and I and very many others want to continue to go to church, sing advent songs, bless the children and be very proud and grateful that we are living in a "society" were we have the right to go to church. Live out your Christian faith! God bless you all.

Miracles

Do you believe in miracles? That's a question I got the other day from a colleague. Yes I do believe in miracles. I in a way had the experience once . I know many are waiting for a miracle to happen. It can be a lot of things: Get that job you so desperately want, get well from a sickness, get that call from a family member you been loosing track of, many many things. God hears you, God works all the time, God helps you but he does that in HIS time. I believe in miracles, I want miracles to happen, but miracles require one thing! It requires you to be in a so to say desperate state. When God do miracles to us we are in great need. I love miracles do doubt about it, but I do prefer to live with blessings. Do be blessed all the time. To understand what He does to me. It is great to have a miracle recovering from a severe sickness, but it is a blessing to live day by day with good health.. I once heard a preacher said: It’s always better to avoid problems, whi...
