your mission

Tuesday August 21^st, Ephesians 5: 15 Look carefully then how you walk! Live purposefully, worthily, and accurately, not as the unwise and witless, but as wise, sensible, intelligent people, 16 Making the very most of the time, because the days are evil.  And we could add to that that these days are evil also.  The advice stands however, live purposefully, worthily and accurately.  Laura Beth Jones in her book “The Path,” points out that in life we either live our mission in life, or we live someone else’s mission in life.  The call of a Christian is to find the path that God has for you in your life.  Where are you called to in life?  How are you called to serve?  Where is that intersection between your passions and the teachings of Christ?  Instead of following along dumbly, open your Bible, think, read, and pray.  There are many churches that will be distributing voting guides this fall to tell Christians who to vote for.  I refuse to let them in the church.  What I ask everyone to do is to take a block of time and sit down the week before the election, pick one of the Gospels, read it all the way through, pray and then go vote.  Make the very most of your time by being the person God has called you to be, not what someone else says the word of god says you should do.
