Much of 2014 has been focused on 2 areas: Fruit of the spirit – character Personal evangelism (friendship) So what now in 2015? Video Blessings and opportunity in 2015 – gifts unopened… Joshua 18:3 “Then Joshua said to the children of Israel: “How long will you neglect to go and possess the land which the LORD God of your fathers has given you?” Joshua 1… be bold and courageous… Jeremiah 29:11-14 I know the thoughts… READ Key Phrases: Don’t neglect; Don’t forsake We may be quick to embrace the new but don’t forsake all that is old. We need to discern what is vital and difficult vs. that which is pleasant and leads to destruction. (Wisdom vs. experience) OUR FOCUS: Hebrews 2:3 “how shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation, which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed to us by those who heard Him,” During the terrible fire in the Ring Theatre at Vienna in 1881, a large crowd striving to reach one of the exits saw a side door marked “Emergency Fire Door”. This was just what they needed. They turned from the main passages, and rushed to use this special way. But the locks could not be turned, and the hinges were choked with rust; because the door had never been used, it could not now be suddenly put into use when urgently needed. A heap of dead soon lay before that doorway. So, lips which never pray on earth will be speechless in the great day; the prayer for mercy will die unuttered, and the excuse which has been framed on earth will never be offered, when the King says, ” ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!” Matthew 7:23 God has given you stewardship of your own life. You are responsible! Don’t sweat the small stuff… or should we? For the want of a nail the shoe was lost, For the want of a shoe the horse was lost, For the want of a horse the rider was lost, For the want of a rider the battle was lost, For the want of a battle the kingdom was lost, And all for the want of a horseshoe-nail. ― Benjamin Franklin Future weeks specific areas to not neglect Spiritual The Word – the lamp onto our path Prayer – conversation Church – attendance Fruit of the spirit –character/integrity Gifts of the spirit – power Love – the motivation of life Body and Soul Physical fitness; exercise and diet Health; check ups – baseline Mind; education and recreation Emotions; avoiding stress, anxiety, fear, depression
