ANNOUNCEMENTS:

COT:
“We are men of action. Lies do not become us.”
Who do we lie to? Others? Ourselves? Our God?

One way we lie to all three is by pretending we will live forever.
Think of your legacy. What do you picture? Money? A business? Heirlooms or possessions?
Which of these will survive 10 years? 20 years? 50? 100? Eternity?

Steve Jobs was one of the most influential people in the world while he lived and continues to be. However, within months of his death, Apple released a product he said they’d never make: the iPad Mini.

Do not lie to yourself and pretend that your material work will leave a legacy for your family. The only true legacy we can leave is by passing our values from the Word of God to others in our lives. The disciples we make will outlive us way longer than any work of our hands.

COT:
In American, we are generally very blessed. Many have more than enough to live, and we often are always in pursuit of more. Life is more than riches and success. Let me share a passage with you to consider.
Luke 12:15-21
“Then He said to them, “Beware, and be on your guard against every form of greed; for not even when one has an abundance does his life consist of his possessions.” And He told them a parable, saying, “The land of a rich man was very productive. And he began reasoning to himself, saying, ‘What shall I do, since I have no place to store my crops?’ Then he said, ‘This is what I will do: I will tear down my barns and build larger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods. And I will say to my soul, “Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years to come; take your ease, eat, drink and be merry.” ’ But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your soul is required of you; and now who will own what you have prepared?’ So is the man who stores up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.”

There is a lot that we can take from this passage, but I want to hone in on our pursuit of riches. This pursuit gets in the way of doing more important things like serving God and spending time with our families. True life isn’t about riches at all! Be on guard and don’t let greed rule your life.

Pray. It seems too simple and easy to be effective, but it’s not and it is. Don’t let the apparent ease of taking a few minutes stop you from doing it at all. Don’t let a high standard keep you from something simple. Prayer is the one thing we can always lean on.

COT:
Jesus said, “Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged…”
(Matthew 7:1-2, NIV)

Speak No Evil. Someone said: “There is so much good in the worst of us, and so much bad in the best of us, it doesn’t behoove any of us to speak evil of the rest of us.” Each of us is a mixture of good and evil. We each have a dark side and we each have a bright side. Certain situations can bring out the good or the bad in each of us. I have often said, “Where did that come from?” I don’t usually say that when I have done something heroically beautiful. Because of this mixture of the good and bad within us, we should be very careful about judging others. Martin Luther, the Protestant reformer, had a sign on the wall of his dining room which read, “He who has an unkind word to say about another is not welcome at this table.” We all need a sign like that posted somewhere in our home or office.
