Time is the one thing we can never have back…tick…tock…tick…tock. Morbid thought? It doesn’t have to be. In fact it can be a motivating force to really live. Let me ask you a question, how are you using your time? Some people say they are just “killing time,” others say “I am wasting time,” still others “I am dong my time (before promotion or retirement)”, or “I have no time,” or I am “out of time.” For too many this means they are just SPENDING their time with very little purpose or passion. They are living with bags full of regrets and failures and have found themselves camped in park. Others are living with the “someday” syndrome…some day I will do this or that.
In two weeks we are beginning a new series based on the New York Times Best-selling book “One Month To Live” by Kerry & Chris Shook. It poses the question “how would I live if I only had 30 days left to live.” What would you do? Make some relationships right, spend more time with your family and friends, spend more time with God, or even take a vacation. Just think how your perspective would change. You would move away from just spending your time to making every moment count. This is the thought in Ephesians 5:15-17:
“So be careful how you live, not as fools but as those who are wise. Make the most of every opportunity for doing good in these evil days. Don’t act thoughtlessly, but try to understand what the Lord wants you to do” (New Living Translation)
Wisdom is thinking carefully about how you are living life, are you making the most of your time? You can.
Beginning Sunday, September 13th will you please join us as we take the 30 day challenge that thousands already have across the country? Even now begin to pray about what you would do with only 30 days. Let’s quit wasting our time and throw ourselves into becoming the person God intended you to be. There is a huge difference between SPENDING time and INVESTING time. Please come and INVEST your time in coming to this series at church and being a part of a One Month To Live small group. Please invite some friends as the material is so relevant, practical, and life changing. Let’s make the most of our time and really begin to live with no regrets.

How I wish you still lived next door! I am very excited to see the changes in your lives that I am sure this study will bring! Any chance you can tape what your doing and you tube it for those of us still here in KC?
How are the classes coming along guys? Have you realized that if you only had 30 days left to live you wouldn't take the time to blog about it or what? Patiently waiting for an update in Kansas City~
