Stay Sharp Weekly

 

Good Thursday Gents,

 

THIS WEEK'S TOP 3

 

READ: Proverbs 8

 

THINK: What is something I feel highly skilled or gifted at? How could you use that to serve God and others this week or in the future?

(Set a timer for 5 minutes to, pray, think, and write down your answers. If you don’t know yet, I love timers! :)

Love God with your heart, soul, mind, strength, and MISSION

When Jesus said, “Love your neighbor as yourself,” he was talking about your mission. He commands us to become men who love God with increasing amounts of our heart, soul, mind, strength, and mission. One way to love our neighbor is to trash the empty scripts that we use daily and, instead, instigate life-giving conversations with those around us. 

 

For example, we are quick to ask, “What do you do for a living?” If we’re honest, most of us don’t care about the answer. It may be a common conversation starter, but it is also an indicator of what we value as a culture. Too often we measure ourselves by what we do instead of who we are. In God’s kingdom, the top priority for his people is a God-aligned identity. Then, whatever we do builds on that solid foundation.

Stay humble. Stay sharp.
