The 2 Greatest

We live in a VERY distracted world.  Our technology and the fast pace of information all around us keeps us that way.  But we can make a choice, a commitment, to BE WHERE WE ARE in this new year.  It could be life changing for us and for those we love.

What we think about and how we use our bodies is a BIG deal.  The culture around us has used the human body in all kinds of unhealthy ways.  But God wants our bodies to be the primary way we express love for God and others.

There is something in us that deeply wants the last word.  We can't seem to just let something go without saying more.  Well, what if you realize you already have the last word?

We've all been in scary, unknown situations.  In those times, it's always comforting to have a trusted guide who knowns what to do and says to us: "Stay Close."  But then it's up to us to do it!

Today's episode is my 2nd conversation with my son, Pastor Mark Knight.  I get his perspective on what 2020 has taught us as a church and how he believes this is changing us in 2021.

I'm so glad God has an endless supply of mercy for those who seek it.  God is eager to give us do-overs.  AND every day--not just every year but every day his mercies are NEW--so give yourself a little mercy today!

It's exciting to note that you and I will get to see things, do things, and engage with people in ways that will never ever come again.  Like snowflakes and fingerprints, each day is special. We need to CARPE DIEM!

Time flies, as they say.  It's true!  Our days turn into weeks, months, years and decades!  God would have us live those with intention and attention.  So Don't Blink!

The power of our habits can make us healthy or can destroy us little by little.  It's time to see the power God has given us to make new ones, better ones and get off the poison path in the New Year.

You and I are being formed.  We can't help it or stop it.  It IS happening.  And our formation takes place OVER TIME, not in an instant or moment of conversion.  Let's be intentional in 2021 about our drip, drip discipleship!
