CHAPTER ELEVEN

Peace be with you and may the Holy Spirit reveal to you all truth.

Let's start with verse 4. Nothing physically obtained in this life can prepare you for the next one. Oh yes, believe it!! There will be another life, the difference is the length of time. This life is a vapor, ending seemingly as fast as it begins. During these brief moments you can choose however to live life right. When we stand before God, there will be nobody else to point to for our choices. We will be held accountable for all we have done, good or bad. Reduce your regrets. Yeah, everyone wishes they could have made better choices somewhere along the way. Don't keep looking in the rear view mirror, keep your eyes on what lies ahead and you'll avoid another crash. Besides, you miss a lot of beautiful things looking backwards all the time.

What should our goal be? Love God and love people. How cool will it be when we as a church have enough influence on our city that it begins to prosper because of God's blessing through His people. Each of us should pray for God's wisdom and that He would use us as leaders in a country so desperate for good leadership. The bottom line is be kind, give freely, and search for good. In the end you will be rewarded more than you can fathom.
