What Is Your Life?

 

Today I was reminded of a statement by a famous missionary, C.T. Studd. He said, “Only one life, ‘till soon be past, Only what’s done for Christ will last.”
There’s a great question found in James 4:14, “…For what is your life?…” 
Take some time to seriously contemplate this question…when everything is said and done, and you are standing on the edge of eternity, what will the sum of your life be? 
Will you have wasted your life with “riotous living?” Will you have wined and dined at the finest our world has to offer? Will you have spent your resources on frivolous things? Or will Christ and eternity have been the sum of your life?
What is your life? Are you investing in eternity?
Take some time to write down the areas of your life where you are certain you are currently investing in eternity for the cause of Christ. Doing this will reveal areas of your life where you can say, “Yes! My life does count for God!,” but it will also reveal areas of weakness and neglect concerning investing in eternity. 
May this challenge today be enough to get us thinking about what really matters in life…living to glorify our King of kings, and Lord of lords - Jesus Christ!
Thanks for reading!
Pastor Justyn Smith

Dear Family and Friends... The Work of our December ministry was exciting and extremely blessed by the Lord!  Our hearts are full, and we are marveling over our Saviour's birth! We are rejoicing over so many things to report...first, thank you for your faithful prayers, love and support. NOTES:  We ARE CURRENTLY in Alaska visiting family and ministering the Word of God through the first week of February. Please take note that any support sent by mail may take a little longer to be deposited. Also, our envelopes need to be reprinted due to an old address on them. If you don’t know it already, please take note of the new address for correspondence on our website. We will attempt to produce an annual “report” newsletter after the first of the year, but this may not be accomplished until we return from Alaska the first part of February. We shall see!
