THE THANG: We got about 7,500 steps in

COT:

I heard Pastor Dave Stone from Louisville preach last weekend. He was amazing as he mixed humor, scripture and story-telling to share his message. Pastor Stone retired at 58 from one of the largest churches in the country as he felt his church of 30,000 people needed new, younger leadership with fresh ideas; Dave is reinvigorated by speaking at conferences, missions like KARM, etc.

“At birth, we look like our parents; at death, we look like our decisions.”

We need to live with a sense of urgency. Don’t let the good things on Earth crowd out the best thing which is Jesus. He said many of us focus on lots of things that take us away from our relationship with our savior.

“At birth, we look like our parents; at death, we look like our decisions.”

He strives to remember everyone’s name at the meeting. He’s unbelievable so I wanted to share a few things…

Home is where the heart is…we’re often so at peace when we’re at our home, our bed, etc. If we live with purpose and serve and worship God, we will be at our forever home, Heaven.

We need to live with a sense of urgency. Don’t let the good things on Earth crowd out the best thing which is Jesus. He missed the opportunity to have dinner with Gary Player because he didn’t pay attention to what time dinner started, took his time, got ice cream and missed an hour with his favorite golfer. He wasn’t comparing Player to God but said many of us focus on lots of things that take us away from our relationship with our savior.

COT:
Jesus always puts people above religion. He doesn’t use shame—He offers healing. Sadly, not everyone does. Some people have encountered rules, judgment, or hypocrisy instead of God’s love. But Psalm 34:18 reminds us, “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”

If someone in your life has been wounded by religion, you can help bring them back—not with arguments, but with love. Jesus didn’t reject the hurting, and neither should we. Be the reason they see Him differently.

“It’s not about your position at the table, but your posture at the table.” When you pull out the chair for someone, do it out of compassion, not comparison.

Easter is coming up and if you don’t have a church home, I’d like to invite you to my church Faith Promise.

COT:

I regret doing some things in my life but right now, I regret not doing some things as well. You know that I had a friend from church, Jeff, that died from cancer a few weeks ago. His funeral was Sunday. I regret not knowing him better. Sure, we talked on occasion and texted quite a bit at times but I kept saying we’ll get together when you get to feeling better. We had plans a couple of months ago but he was exhausted and slept through the time we were going to get together. He was sick, hurting and struggled with sleep so I told him he needed that sleep and to not be sorry about it and they we’d schedule another time to get together…but he got sicker and died.

Part of me thought he’d get better and we’d be going to baseball games together in the future. Part of me was scared because I didn’t know what to say to him when we talked. I was so pissed that his cancer kept coming back and he kept getting turned down for clinical trials. He was so positive and while he wanted to live, he was OK dying because he knew where he was going. He was strong and I regret not learning more from him when I could have.

Regret is sorrow or remorse over something that has happened or that we have done. Regret can also be a sense of disappointment over what has not happened, such as regretting wasted years. To be human is to have regrets because making mistakes is a universal experience.

I’m certain if I went around this circle that each of you could name at least one regret.

Here are some interesting quotes that I found…

“The biggest regret of your life won’t be what you did, it’ll be what you didn’t do.” – Lee Brice
“Never regret. If it’s good, it’s wonderful. If it’s bad, it’s experience.” – Victoria Holt
“Live life to the fullest.”
“Don’t be afraid to make mistakes.”

Peter is one biblical example of someone who deeply regretted a decision. Although Peter was committed to Jesus, his fear made him run away when the soldiers came to arrest Jesus, and he later denied his Lord. His actions did not come from a desire to sin, but from impulse, spiritual immaturity, and fear. He deeply regretted his actions and was forgiven.

I want to challenge you to not have regrets. If you need to make a call or ask forgiveness or change your ways or eat better or exercise more or read more scripture or pray more or stop stressing about everything, etc…do it today…or stop doing whatever it is today. We’ll never be perfect but we can all be the best version of ourselves so please push and encourage me and I’ll do the same to you.
