Make every effort!
“For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love. For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
2 Peter 1:5-8
Basically this is telling us to make every effort to do these to be like Christ and then be effective for Christ! Now ask yourself are you making EVERY effort to do so?

Permit me to speak!
“But Paul said, “I am a Jew from Tarsus, in Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city; and I implore you, permit me to speak to the people.””
Acts 21:39
In the verses above, Paul was being escorted out because Jews had stirred up the people to kill him BUT what does he want to do???? Speak to them! Bruised and bloodied he wants to share his faith in Jesus!
Are we as willing to share ours no matter the cost???

Team!
“Two are better than one, Because they have a good reward for their labor. For if they fall, one will lift up his companion. But woe to him who is alone when he falls, For he has no one to help him up. Again, if two lie down together, they will keep warm; But how can one be warm alone? Though one may be overpowered by another, two can withstand him. And a threefold cord is not quickly broken.”
Ecclesiastes 4:9-12
These verses give us a picture of the church. As followers the Bible clearly teaches us to be an active member of a Bible believing church. In these verses we see we are stronger, able to lift each other up, keep warm as I picture it on fire for the Lord, and defend one another by standing against Satan with the Word of God!
So are you on the team or trying to do it on your own? Find a church for that’s how God designed it!

Chose Life!
Oh this is good!!!
“This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live and that you may love the Lord your God, listen to his voice, and hold fast to him. For the Lord is your life, and he will give you many years in the land he swore to give to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.”
Deuteronomy 30:19-20
1. Choose life!
2.For the Lord is life!
Chew on that! Are you living THE LIFE or wasting life!
