The future is being written.

Reevaluating our generation’s approach to sex and intimacy.
I was on the plane today thinking about what I’m doing and how it impacts my life according to what God’s purpose is in my life. Then I began to think about how every choice we make today not only determines our future, but also can be used by God to position us for future circumstance. Consider King David, when just a boy he faithfully tended his father’s sheep, then later he tended over an entire nation. The wisdom and experience he got from that responsibly and doing it well equipped him to a capacity. Another example in David’s life was his trust in God; he had faith that the Lord would help him defend against both a lion and a bear, then later in life he had no problem going out against the giant Goliath that Israel feared. Do you see how that works? The way you live your life now determines the way you will live your life in the future. It’s through circumstance that God prepares you for your next thing. Seize every moment! - Aaron G.
Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you…” - Matthew 28:18-20 (NIV)
My Friends, as disciples of Christ, He instructs us to go make further “disciples” of all nations; That is to share the good news of salvation, baptizing, followed by teaching them all that Christ has taught you. The mission is a process that is a continuation, and it is yours and mine responsibility, no matter what your gift or calling.

Did you know that God has a special plan for your life? Did you also know that He has chosen you? One of my favorite verses is John 15:16 “You’ve not chosen me but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that you should bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever you should ask of the Father in my name, He may give it to you.” God has chosen you and wants to use your life in an awesome way to reach others and prove to the world that He is who He claims to be. It’s pretty cool to think that we didn’t choose to follow Christ, He chose us. He chose us, while we were still sinners to be His children. Romans 8:29-31 says “For those He foreknew, He also destined from the beginning to be molded into the image of His Son that he might become the firstborn among many brethren. And those whom He thus foreordained, He also called; and those whom He called, He also justified. And those He justified, He also glorified. What then shall we say to all this? If God is for us who can be against us?” It’s awesome to know that the King of the universe called us to be in His family. The Bible teaches us that we are drawn to the Lord by His Spirit not by some coincidence. So what did he chose us for? Well first he chose us because He wants us to have a relationship with Him. But just as important, He has a purpose for your life that He specifically designed for you to fulfill. God has gifted each one of us in different areas so that He can use us. God has big plans for your life all He asks of you is to surrender your will and your life to Him each day and seek Him with all your heart.
