From Pastor Marty
“Give thanks to the Lord, call upon his name,
make known his deeds among the peoples, proclaim that his name is exalted.
5 “Sing praises to the Lord, for he has done gloriously; let this be made known in all the earth. (Isaiah 12:4-5)
What’s Your Most Important Activity?
Occasionally, I listen to motivational podcasts, hoping to glean some tidbits that will help me be more effective in my job and other aspects of my life.
During a morning exercise, I recently listened as a motivational coach asked, “What is your most important activity?” I make it a part of my routine to think about priorities and goals, and I regularly think about the most crucial activity I need to accomplish during the day. This question was different, though. The coach asked about the activity that drives me, the one that helps me align all the other activities that consume not just my day but the purpose of my life.
What’s Your Andy Griffith Show?
Last Sunday, our pastor, Marty, said something that resonated with me during his sermon. He was preaching about God’s pruning of His children, as taught in John 15:2. As he taught us, he said, “We clutter our lives with things of no eternal value.” The Lord pierced my heart with that statement. Since then, I’ve considered many ways I have literally “wasted” my time.
