Accomplish Your Purpose - Helpful Steps

00:00 / 17:48

So, did you accomplish your purpose today? Yesterday? Are you on-target with your life purpose?

Think back to when you start your day:
Before getting out of bed, multi-thoughts fire as you contemplate another new day.
Getting dressed, life responsibilities already form in your brain.
Downing breakfast, you focus on making progress today.
You might jot “to do’s” in your planner so you don’t forget.
At your work place, ideas about life balance might appear . . . and quickly disappear as you dive into responsibilities.

With duties bombarding your waking hours – do you accomplish your purpose for being alive? Do you know why God created you?

Pass The Baton

00:00 / 17:25

During the Olympics, relay races are run with a team of superbly trained athletes – and with a baton. In one critical moment, a race is often won or lost. What is that moment? It’s the moment when runners pass the baton. Races are lost or won based on speed, of course. Yet, an accurate baton placement secures the race. This element is drilled again and again by coaches.

To pass the baton in a race is a big deal. It’s an even bigger deal to pass the baton in daily life.

I Have Behaved

00:00 / 16:31

I’m not sure what comes to your mind when you ponder the title of this article. I suppose those words are not commonly spoken. In my own history, I can think of times I certainly have behaved. I also recall some times I have not. Hopefully the times I have behaved are becoming my norm as I work hard to know God better.

Anyway, I’d like to delve into this unusual statement – “I have behaved.” Did you know it comes straight out of Scripture?

A Calm Strength

A calm strength! Does that describe you? Although you may not believe me, it can describe you. If I asked you – “does your life have any stress” – what would you answer? Similarly, if you rated yourself on a scale of panic in problems, where would you mark yourself? How would you rate your approach to each day? So, I ask again: do you have calm strength?

Since we have lots of questions. let’s begin today’s content.

I’ve often thought about well-known people and how they became “famous.” The Queen of England, various presidents, Mother Teresa, Benjamin Franklin, and even Jesus’ mother – Mary.

The end of one year morphs into a new one by the simple passing of time. Days slip by all year, but when the passing of days ends one thing and begins another, it is noteworthy. Like dots on a graph that connect to form a line, your life line is formed by connecting dots of days. Therefore, it’s critical to live between the dots in a way that exemplifies the noble character of Jesus.
